Kicking off our Where Life Speaks: Essential Modern Iranian Cinema series is Jafar Panahi’s docufiction masterpiece, TAXI.

Filmed almost entirely from the perspective of an undercover taxi driver, Panahi offers a dynamic portrait of contemporary Iran as he picks up passengers on the streets of Tehran. Through these fleeting encounters, we laugh with his passengers, feel their struggles, empathize with their experiences, and listen to their unique perspectives. Each conversation offers a glimpse into the complexities, contradictions, and humanity of everyday life in Iran.
