Women Without Men - Official Trailer

n her feature-film debut, renowned visual artist Shirin Neshat offers an exquisitely crafted view of Iran in 1953, when a British- and American-backed coup removed the democratically elected government. Adapted from the novel by Iranian author Shahrnush Parsipur, the film weaves together the stories of five individual women during those traumatic days, whose experiences are shaped by their faith and the social structures in place.

With a camera that floats effortlessly through the lives of the women and the beautiful countryside of Iran, Neshat explores the social, political, and psychological dimensions of her characters as they meet in a metaphorical garden, where they can exist and reflect while the complex intellectual and religious forces shaping their world linger in the air around them. Looking at Iran from Neshats point of view allows us to see the larger picture and realize that the human community resembles different organs of one body, created from a common essence.

@MetallicA4evababy just wanted to remind you that you were brought to this world by your mom and your mom is a woman but you still dare disrespect a being who gave you life ? women and men are both special in their own ways stop being such a sexsist and mature if you will =) if you like gays then .. why not marry one ??

@suzsiz Oh and btw someone who would do that to a woman though is just a low life jerk. Its in the PAST. And idk about you but i can defend myself toward anyone and i'm sure as hell not going to let anyone boss me around but i believe people should fight their own battles so they can grow and learn to be stronger. You want to know something really funny? While your off talking about how women go through this or that when i was about 10 years old i was molested, BY A GIRL. -.- And i am a girl.

@suzsiz You do realize the same thing happens to men as well. I mean maybe men don't get raped as much as women do but a lot of bad things happen to men as well that doesn't normally happen to women and its an equal situation. And i know not all women are bad either, but guess what? MANY ARE. And honestly your only judging the men when you obviously can't see most of the evil in women either. their is both evil men AND women. Fight for both not just for one.

@TIMEaintMONEY This movie takes place in Iran, not America. The women in Iran are treated as property and have no rights. Calm down, learn how to use punctuation, and stop dating gold-diggers who want you to pay for all their shit.

@Sims2VideoFunTime Can you accept that this happen to women all day? No, I cant! I cant accept women are being raped, killed etc, and for what, for one mans honour? Its pathethic, unlogical, unmoral and disgusting. It makes me angry, because I care. Get used to it. and I know, not all men are bad, but many are! and I know not all women are good either.

This seems like a REALLY great movie but if someone done that inrl, which i'm sure some people, both women and men have went so far in the ground from this level that they burn their asses off, but their very moronic and not worth my time anyway. Id love to see this movie soo.. :3 Yeah.. anyway...

@MetallicA4evababy Yes i am a woman and actually my dream job is to become a chef and your basically not only insulting me but insulting chefs, men AND women chefs. By being sexist, you'd agree with sexist jokes against women, as well as the sexist kitchen jokes which most men tell. [Mainly only as a joke, sadly some take it to seriously] But when they do take it seriously, its not just in insult to women but men as well, chefs.. I'm guessing your single, well, enjoy your lonely life..

@suzsiz <.< That's rude don't you think? I'm a woman and i know that both men and women have their ups and downs. Get used to it.
