Dayereh (Der Kreis)
Stories from Tehran: Much to the horror of the parents, a baby is born in a hospital. It is a girl. A little later, three women escape from prison during their furlough. They need money to buy a bus ticket. They meet a young, pregnant woman who has also escaped from prison and wants to have an abortion... Panahi's ‘Reigen’ is a turning point in Iranian cinema. Not only does it tell a bold story that uncompromisingly addresses social issues, but it also creates a perfect symbiosis between form and content: the circle as the narrow scope of women's society, a never-ending oppression. Awarded the Golden Lion in Venice – and more eye-opening than ever!
