A LIFE OF THREE AGES OF WOMEN
ENJOY A PHOTO GALLERY OF THE FILM:
What a disturbing interpretation of the role of Iranian women, the director Marziyeh Meshkini exposes an thrilling new tone in Iranian films. The typeset of scripts, written by Meshkini's husband, the skilled filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf (Gabbeh, The Peddler), enlighten several stories that takes place in Iran of three ages of women struggling to live in freedom.
1)The first women, is about Hava, who one the morning of her ninth birthday, is told that she is now a woman. She must wear a chador and may no longer join together in a playtime with her male friend. Hava seemed to be upset and shared a candy with her friend in a hush-hush Rendez-Vous.
2) In the most significant scene, Ahoo, a young wife, is competing in a bicycle race against dozens of other chador-clad women on a hot dusty road. As she pulls ahead of the field, her husband pursues her on horseback to take her out of the race and no film chase has ever been more heart-wrenching.
3) A third woman is an old, handicapped lady who struggle to read and find a house to live in with empathy.
Meshkini scans a society where women are still the possessions of men and cannot achieve freedom, liberty, and self-determination without relinquishing emotional, touching attachments. Feeling sorry for these women is enough to understand the situation. Women struggles have been around this globe for a long time. Still until today, in some places of the world women are treated as slaves, hope the situation changes in this part of the world, and women get the independence they deserve.
