    Only then did I know that Jafar Panasi's "Taxi" was a tribute to this...

    In the two fixed seats, the two passengers who meet by chance are outside the invisible paintings. The car once again becomes a space that carries emotions. It revolves around the marriage, love, and parent-child relationship encountered by women. The seat becomes the prayer room of the church, and the son appears repeatedly. The few paragraphs in the book did not bring richer hierarchical relationships, and the topic of women was a bit...

    Abbas's experimental video is a "collage" of the whole film completed by the on-board camera. The five guests and 10 stories are strung together throughout the film; the main point of view is of course the female driver, but her connection with each passenger is natural smooth; the viewing process is more like reading a "dialogue" novel; the main core narrative is outlined through dialogue; the process of clarifying the facts is also a bit tedious, and the thinking itself has a kind of hypnotic...

    I don't know how to understand, I just yell, I just want my mother to revolve around me I don't understand why you're different from others, my father's son French communication with the girl on the street went from laughing and laughing to gradually looking at her back, passing a car on the side of the road and getting on the second car, don't rely on anyone, a lady with a shaved...

    Perhaps Abbas's most "explicit" demonstration of Iranian social reality, but at the same time, the film form is the most "restricted"; in other words, the "openness" of content and the "restriction" of form have to be Because of the special social situation, it seems to be "paradoxically" connected as a work. The car is a fixed (even "loyal") private universe, but neither the driver nor the passenger has a dominant master status over it; on the contrary, it is in the microscopic space where...

    The experimental nature is strong. Some social relations such as life in Iran, love, family, etc. from the perspective of women are quite shocking. It is not the same as imagined. The taste of the cherry is heavy and the craftsmanship is a bit too...

    The car as a set and its metaphor ("Is this a dead end?"). An implicit critique of Iranian patriarchal society. Directing in the absence of the...

    This is to show the situation of women in terms of family/social/personal life. Abbas is still unremarkable. I only realized when I saw a few people in the second half of the screen. Seems like the first time a woman has been seen taking off her hijab in an Iranian...

    Iran is probably the country with the largest creative space for feminist films, especially for middle-class women. So when I saw the interior of the car, Abbas only used a few cameras and long dialogues (most of them were too straightforward, except for the prostitute part that flashed a little spark) to show (husband power, mother-son relationship, religious issues) Still quite...
