Masterpiece. After years of installations and video work Shirin Neshat has made a mature, thought provoking debut picture. Five women of varying pedigree entwined by the events taking place amongst them. A little history, a little magic realism and yes a lot of symbolism but not in a obtuse way. Heartlily reccomended.

What a mess. It ends with a mourning for lost revolutions but it seems to only apply to half the population (the XX half). The symbolism is a bit too heavy for my taste (the prostitute being abuse by everyone is clearly Iran and so on).

Very close to five stars, but I did find the last 30 minutes less satsfying than the first, masterful hour. Hopefully it's even better the second time...
