The kind of film that every man, woman and child should see to understand the gender politics of Sharia law. A true Iranian story, centering on a woman falsely accused of adultery.
Condemned to death by stoning, her aunt played by the redoubtable, beguilingly beautiful Shohreh Aghdashloo. Watch this trailer!
Set in 1986 during the early days of Khomeini-era Iran, this adaptation of Freidoune Sahebjam’s bestselling book tells. Seen through the eyes of a French journalist (Thin Red Line’s Jim Caviezel), the film captures the traditions of the village and the tensions between those involved, making for a complex and unforgettable film. A High Fliers release.
