Hiss Dokhtarha Faryad Nemizanand

Hush.. Girls Don't Scream is a masterpiece of world cinema and one of the most challenging Iranian films I have ever seen. An emotionally shattering work that isn't afraid to honestly show the horrific side of life and critique the closed society & patriarchal institutions that oppress the people as well as how that oppression manifests in people. Pouran Derakhshandeh is a very brave filmmaker.

I must say after a while I've seen a very engaging persian movie which had it all. Like many other well known persian movies, "Hiss Dokhtarha Faryad Nemizanand" tries to picture the realities and day to day dramas in Iran. Pooran Derakhshandeh perfectly directed this movie about woman in Iran and how they've been ignored in many occasions. This movie also benefits from one of the most famous persian musicians, "Karen Homayounfar", which done a fantastic job and help you to feel the story from your hearth. And last but least, should say about acts which done a perfect job. I must say, after while I've watched a persian movie till the very last moment and nearly was pinned to my seat and didn't want to loose any scene.. loved it

It discuss a social taboo in Iran... I watched it in cinema during my last visit there and felt peoples sympathy with the little girls and their anger with current Islamic Laws which always voting -by all means- against women in Iran. Everyone praised this movie not because of arterial aspects but since it clearly shows how females underpinned regardless of their age or social class. Abuse and assault is a daily story in developing,religious and closed societies where we heard sometime parents (specially fathers) decided to confront and kind of "getting rid of" their daughters instead of as they call it "putting their reputation in risk" by to protecting their daughters/wife's rights.

As a girl born and raised in Iran, I could admit this sad truth which is well depicted in this movie. Unfortunately, girls not being allowed to even laugh loudly has been a cultural norm, then how it is expected that they start talking about more serious problems that appear in their lives! Women do not have any voice! And even if they do, they just don't be taken serious and might even be accused ... There is a long journey to go for breaking lots of stupid customs agains women in that country!

Iranian cinema has many women directors like;Rakhshan Bani-Etemad,Tahmineh Milani,Niki Karimi,Parisa Bakhtavar(Asghar Farhadi's wife)and...but Pouran Derakhshande is the eldest between them.HISS...is a new good film of an old good director! It's a successful movie with a strong story and fantastic players. Many audiences watched this movie and encouraged film and her director. Pouran Derakhshandeh has directed many films about society and children and she likes to notice to this subjects.This movie has screened in America and Canada then. Some Iranian critics noticed to it as the best film of her director and some people in Iran think about introducing it to Oscar Award 2013. When you are watching HISS...,you cannot abandon your seat!believe me,don't hesitate in watching HISS...
