Teheran Tabu

With all the clever and beautiful aspects of the movie, there are still basic details that are not observed and it is because the makers do not live in Iran.

A powerful film that leaves the viewer completely appalled at the end. Rotoscoping is ideally suited to this film by allowing the viewer to focus on the action and dialogues without being distracted by the details of untransformed images. This lets the viewer realize how religions, especially that which prevails in Iran and elsewhere, have been invented to control people, especially women. In Tehran Taboo, religion is clearly exposed as a catalyst used by criminally insane authorities to facilitate their crimes. Made me glad to be an atheist.

Exploring the sexual & gender double standards in contemporary Iran, all resulting from their strict religious codes, Tehran Taboo paints a thoroughly fascinating portrait of everyday life lived in the bustling modern metropolis where breaking societal taboos has now become the only way for its people to achieve freedom & happiness.

A great movie showing the problems of Iranians in these days. It's so sad that these are really happening. An interesting choice was Zahra Amir Ebrahimi who was the victim of this Iranian morality that forced her to leave Iran. She was a victim of the same thing in the movie, too.

This animated movie depicts the consequences of prostitution, drugs, physical contact prior to marriage, equality of genders, religion, and the importance of virginity. The colors used in the movie are not bright and colorful and from watching the movie one can understand why. A woman needing her husband's written consent and for him to deliver it in person to get a job or to enroll a child in school in unreal.
