I hope this news makes Jafar Panahi smile in vindication. Wherever he is. Disobeying his house arrest and making another illegal movie, hopefully.
It’s about time, you neanderthals.
If you haven’t seen Panahi’s film Offside (my review here), which features 6 feisty girls dressing up as boys and trying to attend a soccer game in Tehran, what are you waiting for??
Panahi’s film can now be seen as a history lesson, as he always said he wanted it to be, showing future generations who did not have to suffer so: Here is how we lived. This is how stupid it was.
