Finally, A Movie I Want to See
This sounds great.
"Young (Iranian) girls trying to sneak past stadium check points for football matches -- soccer to us Yanks -- are so common that soldiers have created an upper-deck holding pen to put offenders before turning them over to the vice squad. Here the girls suffer in agony. Not, you understand, over shame or repercussions of their actions, but from hearing the crowd's roar. This only reminds them they are missing the crucial match."
"They implore their equally young guards to take a peak at the game inside and perform a play-by-play of the action. The soldier in charge, a country bumpkin overwhelmed by the sophistication of these Tehran women, resorts to shouting at everyone, including his own men."
"He tries to defend the country's ludicrous rules governing the sexes to one particularly cunning girl. After he's forced to admit the rules don't seem to apply to foreign women, she exclaims, "So my problem is I was born in Iran?" "
It's showing in Berlin though, not in London, I checked the Standard last night. Hmmm, been meaning to pop over and see Antje...
