Shirin

2009 · 1h 32m · NRRepertory

A hundred and fourteen famous Iranian theater and cinema actresses and a French star: mute spectators at a theatrical representation of Khosrow and Shirin, a Persian poem from the twelfth century, put on stage by Kiarostami. The development of the text -- long a favorite in Persia and the Middle East -- remains invisible to the viewer of the film, the whole story is told by the faces of the women watching the show.

Shirin (2009), a repertory screening, is coming to Hollywood Theatre, an independent theater in Portland. First showtime: Thu, Mar 11, 4:00 PM.
