Winner of the Golden Lion at Venice and banned in Iran, dissident director Panahi’s shattering drama brings together the stories of several women—two escaped convicts, a girl in need of an abortion, the new mother of a baby girl—to make the compelling case that, for women living under the suffocating strictures of the Islamic Republic, the experience of incarceration is ultimately inescapable. “A stinging, tautly structured indictment of Iranian society told through its women’s eyes.”—Wesley Morris, The Boston Globe
