Circle Movie by Jafar Panahi on DVD

The Circle (Dayereh) 
Director: Jafar Panahi 

 

Banned by the Iranian government, this masterfully crafted and deeply affecting film found an

international audience after winning top honors at the Venice Film Festival. This is an honest,

disturbing look at the plight of ordinary Iranian women dealing with institutionalized political and

sexual repression. "The most talented disciple of Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami, Panahi actually

tops him at leaving things out of a story to tantalize the viewer...You can't afford to miss this"

(Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader). In Farsi with English subtitles.
