Welcome to November and to Foreign Chops #7! This month, we’re looking at the national cinema of Iran, one of the most vibrant and interesting national cinemas in the world. The response this month was excellent, and we’ve got a bunch of great views and reviews for you. So whether you’re an expert on Iranian film or new to the style, there’s plenty here to please you, both films made in Iran and films from Iranian directors.
We’ll be back in two weeks to announce the next subject under discussion. Foreign Chops #8 will post on December 6. Until then, click through and see everything that the films of Iran have to offer!

Wow, impressive turnout!
Interesting list of movies. I’ve only seen A Separation, but will try to watch some others. This Is Not A Film I’ve heard interesting things about.
