3 Faces

Jafar Panahi is a legendary Iranian director who has been banned from making films for 20 years. Despite this, he continues to create and express himself as an artist. Watching a new film by Panahi is incredibly gratifying because he is a savvy rebel who laughs in the face of his sentence and produces fascinating cinematic works. Panahi has mastered the art form of filmmaking with startling finesse, and he manipulates and evolves it in unique and exciting ways. His latest film, "3 Faces", is a tragic story about the strength of women. It suggests that misogyny still exists in Iran. The film is enigmatic and enlightening.

Panahi's preference of non-professional performers contribute a great reality atmospehere in fictitous story. Panahi takes us to Azerbaijani-Turk coast of Iran and narrates a real view of desires, demands, expactations, hope and lack of opportunities in provincial life within colourful and peculiar culture of Iran.

The movie is so interesting and realistic! Story about provincial Azerbaijani villagi! As a person fron Baku( republic of Azerbaijan) it was interesting to watch life of azerbaijanis in provincial place! It seems nothing changes there, and story about bull is hilarious! So funny! The end of movie also interesting with song of Sari gelin!

Story: An Iranian girl wants to be an actress & gets a famous Iranian actress to investigate her desire. A relatively tame presentation of the issue. I've seen many movies on what young females, wherever they may be (including unlikely Western democracies), face to maintain family honor though obedience & marriage, e.g. coercion, shaming, disowning, punishment, imprisonment, & death. "A women who wants to study dishonors her family." "God blesses families with a son." "Marriage would make her forget about studies." Others to watch: "Difret", "A Suitable Girl", "What Will People Say", "He Named Me Malala".
