The Circle (2000)
De derde speelfilm va de Iraanse filmmaker Jafar Panahi richt zich op de benarde positie van de vrouw in Iran. In The Circle portretteert Panahi acht vrouwen, die allen in extreme situaties verkeren. Ze komen zojuist uit de gevangenis, proberen wanhopig een illegale abortus te regelen of trachten te leven als prostituee. Ook zoiets onschuldigs als het roken van een sigaret op straat kan je in moeilijkheden brengen. De vrouwenlevens lijken zich te voltrekken in een cirkelgang, waarvan begin en einde bepaald worden door onveranderlijk verstikkende levensomstandigheden.
