TOO ARTIFICIAL


Jafar Panahi is one of the leading Iranian movie directors, especially when it comes to Western audience, hooked on the fact that he was banned from making movies by the satanised local government.

To fight this unjust ban, he decides to pose as a taxi driver and make a omnibus documentary about the social problems in modern Iran. He does it hastly, incoherently and above all, unconvicingly.

There are a lot of better Iranian movies about the social problems in that country than „Taxi Tehran”. Also, there are a lot of better Iranian movies than „Taxi Tehran”. A lot.
