Dark, Light

The reference to Iranian cinema in this book pertains to films produced in our country from the historical period of 1978 to forty years afterwards; therefore, pre-revolution cinema is outside the scope of this book’s analysis. The book discusses key themes such as the influence of Western schools on the depiction of family in Iranian cinema, the representation of family functions in Iranian films, gender and spousal roles in Iranian cinema, and the harms and threats to home and family portrayed in Iranian movies.
