"Well-known actress Behnaz Jafari is left distraught when she comes across a provincial girl’s video plea for help, after her family prevents her from taking up her studies at the Tehran drama conservatory. Behnaz abandons her shoot and turns to filmmaker Jafar Panahi to help with the young girl’s troubles. They travel by car to the rural northwest, where they have amusing encounters with the charming and generous folk of the girl’s mountain village. But Behnaz and Jafar also discover that old traditions die hard." (Sydney Film Festival)Hide

3 Faces
The Press Reviews
Charming Iranian cinema at its purest. Full Review
"3 Faces" may be modest and low-key on the surface, but its surprises are worth preserving, its insights casually profound. Full Review
More concerned with mood than plot, the observational film carries impassioned feminist undertones. Full Review
A minor, but still rewarding Panahi film. Full Review
With "3 Faces," the caged Panahi is determined to sing someone else's song, and in times like these, such generosity of spirit is its own quietly fierce act of cinematic defiance. Full Review
The story is streamlined, simple and elegant, but the plot is thickly layered. Full Review
Provocative without being hectoring. Full Review
