"The Twilight"
2002
Directed by Mohammad Rosoulof
Documentary director Mohammad Rosoulof makes an
impressive feature debut with this simple but powerful true story of
prison life in Iran, featuring real-life prisoners playing themselves. A
prison warden decides that in order to rehabilitate a repeat offender he
should allow him to marry a female prisoner. The new bride and groom are
allowed to be together one day a week and eventually have a child. When
they are finally freed, they see a chance to have a normal life together,
not expecting the cruel society that awaits them. Rosoulof's "authentic
prison drama blurs the boundaries between fact and fiction" (Boston
Museum of Fine Arts Film Program). Farsi with English subtitles.
83 minutes. |
