Synopsis

In this experimental feature from Abbas Kiarostami, the director films only the reactions of female audience members who are in a theater watching an adaptation of an ancient Persian fairy tale. Over 100 Iranian female actors and Juliette Binoche make up the nonverbal cast, all responding with a wide range of emotions to the lively film offscreen, which is only available to Shirin's spectators in the form of dialogue, score, sound effects, and flickering lights on the women's faces. "Shirin marks another highly original exploration. I don't expect to see a better film for quite some time" (David Bordwell, author of Film Art). Featuring Golshifteh Farahani, Taraneh Alidoosti and Niki Karimi. In Farsi with English subtitles.

Abbas Kiarostami---Iran---2008---91 mins.
