An Iranian documentary that chronicles a single day in the life of Jafar Panahi, a director that has been banned from filmmaking for the next 20 years. It all takes place inside his apartment as he awaits a verdict on his case. The film is more of a political statement than a piece of entertaining art. I am aware of the many limitations in which this film-that-is-not-a-film was made, but one can still hope for something that both makes a political statement and entertains at the same time, as Weiwei: Never Sorry did.
Rating: D+
