The Iranian film "Taxi" (also known as "Taxi Life") was directed by Jafar Panasi, who was an assistant director of Abbas and one of the representatives of the new wave of Iranian films. This became the second film in the history of Iranian films after "Separation Storm" to win the Berlin Golden Bear Award. The director used a pseudo-documentary filming technique, and through his role as a taxi driver, he was driving to pick up the little girl from class on the way. , showing the people and things that happened and happened during this hour. The director revealed the real life in Iran for us in a light-hearted and fun way, and talked with the guests by taxi. In the taxi shuttle through the streets of Tehran, we took us to see all kinds of Iranians. In the easy conversation, many helplessness and life difficulties are revealed. It also constructs for us the Iranians under Islamic teachings, and how they adapt, survive, and exist in the present moment of totalitarian rule. No matter how difficult life is, they still have their own way of survival, and they still look at every day with a smile. This movie turns the heavy into a joke, but this method is even more heavy.

However, he is still not afraid, and continues to create in his own way. In 2018, he completed the latest work "Three Faces". I like the lightness of this work, which reflects the essence of the work. I also like all the actors with relaxed expressions, reflecting the heavy reality of Iran, and prefer the flexibility and wit of the little girl. When she won the Berlin Golden Bear Award, it was the representative of the young lady who accepted the award. When she took the stage to accept the award, she conveyed the director's situation to the world with tears. The director, on the other hand, is firm on the way of filming.
