Review of Circumstance (2011) by Aaron M — 21 Jun 2012
This is a visually stunning and politically fascinating film. The jacket emphasizes the sexual elements (lesbian relationship between the two main characters) and sexuality definitely runs throughout--but this is really a film about political repression, and how that interacts with young people in Iran and how they express (or conceal) their sexuality.
Fascinating interaction as well between the more zealous religious motivations of the authorities vs. their corruption (many are willing to accept financial "compensation" for breaches of Islamic law).
