3 Faces (15)
UPDATE: Due to an unforeseen technical fault, the screening of 3 Faces (15) at 6pm on Tuesday 18 June has been cancelled. We apologize for the inconvenience caused. The screening is replaced by an extra screening of Woman at War.
Dir. Jafar Panahi, Iran, 2018, 100 mins, subtitled.
Cast. Behnaz Jafari, Jafar Panahi, Marziyeh Rezaei.
Main language: Farsi, Turkish.
Panahi’s irrepressible, mischievous storytelling has found its way through the cracks and onto the biggest international stages, even though the director himself cannot leave the country. 3 Faces is a road trip through patriarchal rural Iran that becomes an odyssey of enlightenment. An Iranian actor is distraught after receiving a suicide note from a girl whose family forbid her to go to drama school. With her director she embarks on a road trip to locate the girl. Directing frequently farcical encounters with signature restraint, Panahi gently probes the patriarchal customs that impact women in all areas of Iranian society. Warm-hearted, funny and humane.
