Description
 
Dariush Mehrjui's bold Hamoun not only made it past that country's censors, it was widely shown in Tehran and emerged as one of the year's most popular films, winning six Iranian film awards. A well-to-do Tehran painter (Bita Farrahi), suffering from the seven-year-itch, has an affair with a patron and tells her Western-educated psychiatrist that she wants a divorce and complains bitterly about the Iranian government's treatment of women. Her despondent philosopher husband (Khosro Shakibai), accused of beating his wife, has a breakdown and seeks comfort from his grandmother, and both agree that religion is a fraud. In Farsi with English subtitles.

Dariush Mehrjui---Iran---1989---107 mins.
