Aroview: From Abbas Kiarostami's avant-grade phase, this non-narrative tableaux of Iranian actresses (and one Juliette Binoche) enthralled by a film screening of 12th century Persian epic 'The Story of Khosrow and Shirin' delicately experiments with the artifice and theatricality of the conceptual premise while providing a moving, strangely mesmerizing study of female faces responding to art.
