217. The circle (2000)


Country: Iran
Directed by Jafar Panahi

The first film of the director where he abandons the child characters and began to deal with social issues having problems with the autorities. The circle is an almost devastating movie where all the women who are pictured lose themselves in a circle of desperation without way out. The film is really dark and pessimistic , giving almost no hope, except of the scene of the arrested girl who lights up a cigarette: an act that for the whole kength of the film many other femmale characters hesitated to do in public. Panahi makes one more jewel for the Iranian cinema: as always you wonder how a such simple film can be that powerful
