Country : Iran
Directed by Babak Payami
One of my favorite new wave Iranian movies 'Secret ballot' presents a story of two people , a gap that are not permitted to cross and a affection that can't be fulfilled ,with a very touching way . But in a second level the movie makes a lot of bitter-sweet comments about the life in modern Iran under the iron government rule, where poverty, low education and old style ideas are mixed with a rapid development, formation of a middle class, calls for modernization and a sort of democracy that under these conditions seems useless and absurd. The film also makes a lot of comments about the women position in Iranian society showing it as not homogeneous, both in terms of reality and terms of social imaginary.
