One of the most powerful and bravest films I’ve seen. Through the perspectives of a few women, Jafar Panahi gives a very detailed and heartbreaking s of the various ways Iranian women were severely oppressed and living such restricted lives.
The post-film Q&A was great, so lovely to have Jafar Panahi here in person and getting to meet him.
With Jafar Panahi here introducing every film and doing q&a’s, I cannot recommend enough catching any of his films at rhe festival.
“I heard someone whisper ‘please adore me’
And when I looked the moon had turned to gold”
I really loved this! Within a mere night of his life, Richard Linklater delivers such a full portrait of a such fascinating and sad artist that I found brutally relatable at times. My heart fucking sank at the end. Ethan Hawke is outstanding. I wish I could’ve given Lorenz Hart a big hug.
Watched this after the Letterboxd Meetup - so great…
Loved loved loved this so fucking much.
I could watch dishevelled Josh O’Connor all day. I adore how much this was a pathetic heist film, and how that ties into America’s involvement in the Vietnam War. Ended on an absolutely perfect note.
I could watch Kelly Reichardt direct anything.
Shoutout to the three old women I met on the way to this screening for the great chat. Hope our paths cross again.
