Profile of Shirin
The mood of Shirin is offbeat, atmospheric, and contemplative. The plot centers around feminism, artists and showbiz, and themes of mind and soul. It is a drama and foreign movie. Stylistically, Shirin is experimental, includes a voice over, and stars a strong female character. In approach, it is serious and realistic. The pacing is slow. Shirin takes place, at least partly, in a theater. The setting is Iran. It happens in contemporary times.
Summary of Shirin
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.
