The movie
Ballad of a White Cow
Mina (co-director Maryam Moghaddam) makes one last visit to her condemned husband in prison before he is hanged for committing a murder.
Description
‘Sure, “Ballad” can be brutal, but Moghaddam and co-helmer Behtash Saneeha… also see it as a story of resilience in a society that puts enormous limits on women… [T]he humanism shines through, centered in Moghaddam’s dignified performance, one that shifts depending on whether the character is being observed in public or private.’—Peter Debruge, Variety
