Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama
Aroview: Teasing but ultimately rewarding drama, in which a video camera, mounted on the dashboard of a car in Tehran, records the lives of the driver and various passengers in ten contrasting sequences.
Centring mainly around the emotional stresses and tactics of the driver and her young son, plus the recounted ordeals of several female passengers, this has a clear feminist subtext, yet is also a gripping portrait of the power struggles of ordinary life. The strictly minimal style also ingeniously evokes the claustrophia of the daily urban traffic-jam, and the mini-dramas of parking, passing and cross-town traverses.
