Review of Closed Curtain (2013) by Peter Keough for Boston Globe — 13 Aug 2014
The opening and closing scenes of this film evoke those in “Crimson Gold.” They are long shots of the outside as seen through a security gate. In “Crimson Gold,” the view is of a chaotic street in Tehran.
Here, it is the empty sea. This difference demonstrates what Panahi has been deprived of, and what the world has lost because of it.
