"Cafe Setareh"
2005
Directed by Saman Moghadam
Cafe Setareh focuses on three women - Fariba,
Saloomeh, and Moluk - in a triptych of warm-hearted, interwoven stories
set in contemporary Tehran. Fariba operates a cafe, while her alcoholic,
unemployed husband sponges off her; Saloomeh debates whether to marry Ebi,
whose one good deed doesn't make up for his mean, controlling streak; and
Moluk, a middle-aged landlady, pines for a man who has problems of his
own. Directed by talented newcomer Saman Moghadam (Maxx). "Subtle,
affectionately humorous and poignant...a classic woman's picture" (Los
Angeles Times). Persian with English subtitles.
102 minutes. |
