Leila
- A film by: Dariush Mehrjuei
A Cinematic Gem, Beautifully Acted!
- Stephen Holden, The New York Times
One of the most celebrated Iranian films in years!
Reza and Leila, an attractive and affluent young couple deeply in love and
recently married, discover that Leila is unable to conceive. Invoking tradition, Reza's
mother convinces her daughter-in-law that Reza must, out of necessity, take a
second wife
to produce an heir. This provocative and eloquent story, from "Iran's longest
running
cinematic master" (Village Voice), is a stunning portrayal of the clash between
tradition and modern marriage; between manipulation and the power of love.
