Legend of a sigh (DVD)
This strikingly feminist film draws on a
legend of Azarbayejan province. Ah is a handsome young man who materializes
to succor those in need whenever he hears a heartfelt sigh. Milani's
protagonist is a woman novelist, suffering from writer's block, who, with
the help of Ah, experiences the lives of four women from different social
strata. From a wealthy Tehrani who feels unfulfilled by her life, to a poor
servant, to a Turkman wife unable to leave the house without her husband's
permission, to a rebellious student, the film offers a fascinating portrait
of a range of Iranian women and their problems. Farsi with English subtitles
