[press conference for
Holy Spider. Araña sagrada (2022) at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival] We didn't do the movie to highlight women's conditions in Iran. We didn't do the movie to do activist work, but it does take up that thing. Is it limited to Iranian society? I don't think so. Have we come a long way in Europe to get to a more equal place, to a less violent place, less violence against women, less misogyny? I think so. Is it enough? I don't think so.
