"Boutique"
2004
Directed by Hamid Nematollah
Hamid Nematollah's compelling drama "stakes out a new path for Iranian
cinema" (Variety) as it exposes key problems plaguing modern-day
Tehran. Johan is a gentle and thoughtful young man who works as a window
dresser at a fashionable boutique. When a poor and very beautiful young girl
enters his store, Johan feels compelled to steal a pair of blue jeans for
her. This action triggers a downward spiral that will change Johan's life
forever. "Painfully real and engaging" (Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times).
Farsi with English subtitles. 115 minutes. |
