Description
Bahram Tavakoli's adaptation of the Tennessee Williams play The Glass Menagerie is a brilliantly acted restaging of the original's themes within the cultural confines of contemporary Iran. As in Williams' play, the story is told from the point of view of a cinema-haunting young man. His shy, disabled sister takes refuge in her collection of glass animals while their overbearing mother, played with motor-mouthed aplomb by Montreal Film Festival award-winner Fatemeh Motamed-Arya, works desperately to match her with a marriageable man—which she thinks she may have found in her son's best friend. (Dir.: Bahram Tavakoli, Iran, 2011, 97 min., Persian with English subtitles)
