Corriere della Sera · Shirin Neshat e le sue opere: «Donna, vita, libertà». E Kamala HarrisBy Viviana Mazza

"#ShirinNeshat's Women Without Men is an adaptation of Shahrnush Parsipur's magic realist novel of the same name...chronicles the intertwining lives of 4 Iranian women during the summer of the 1953 coup d état, a cataclysmic moment in history when an American led, British backed mission led to the over throw of Prime Minister and reinstalled the Shah to power."

I found the work of Neshat via her collaboration with musician Sussan Deyhim.

I admire the work of the Iranian born visual artist, . Her use of Persian calligraphy & enigmatic b&w images convey the disparity & distance btwn the sexes in the Islamic world. Women Without Men, her first narrative feature, falls somewhere btwn an allegory & straight historical account of 1953 Iran. It tells entwined stories of 4 women. The magic realism of the source material befits well w/ Neshat's style. Visually, the film has some very powerful, stunning moments.
