Driving through Tehran 9 - the Young Woman (break up)

A divorcee who has remarried drives around the city taking different people in her car. Her passengers are her son, her sister, two mosque visiting women and a prostitute. In the course of these car trips a few things are revealed about their lives.

Is this a documentary or not you may ask yourself after watching it. In any case it is split into 10 episodes (counting down from 10 to 1).

i dont understand what you are talking about, did you see the end of the movie, their names are at the ending credits, if they didn't know they would be in the movie, then how is that possible, did you watch the other segment of the dvd, he breaks down the who movie, and he mentions they they are non actors that he hired, so they are aware they are being film and they only saying what they want you to hear, in other words as they speak they are still maintaining privacy.

This is real stories, and is acted, but the players are amature players who are telling their life stories.

This is a directed film, the passenger knows that she is getting filmed, and everybody else do know also, the difference is that the players are amatures and the stories are real!

After just a few seconds you realise you are watching something by exploitative shitty Kiarostami. After filming and before airing it, was the passenger told that she was filmed and was her permission sought before airing this? How disgusting to put the private lives and inner feelings of someone on display for the world to see when she thought she was making a private conversation in confidence. You can see this in Makhmalbaf's and his family's films as well. Started with 'Hello Cinema'. Awful.

I believe love and understanding are two diverent things. But what I know as well is that it needs both to make it work. Now, for woman it's much more emotional then for men and thats a fact. But love makes the world go round :)

This is beautiful. The way she showed her sadness and pain in such a way is amazing. It really made me think of reasons as to why she would do that. I can understand though. She probly cut her hair off to release everything and get rid of old memories. Maybe to start over fresh and new. It must be such a releif for her.

The driver is soooo pretty too.

Is this acting for real ? what an unskilled director
