The CIA and the rights of women in Iran
Women Without Men (2009) is an Iranian film whose original title is Zanan-e bedun-e mardan. It was directed by Shirin Neshat and Shoja Azari. The title “Women Without Men” is misleading, because the women are only “without” men because they are able temporarily to escape from the men in their lives by moving to a rural estate.

The movie takes place in 1953, when the CIA helped overthrow the democratic government of Iran and put the Shah into power. Some of the women are running from government oppression, and some of them are running from the oppression of the men in their lives.

The women in the film had few acceptable options–probably an accurate reflection of the lives of women in Iran during this period. It’s a grim situation, and it’s depicted in a grim film. I don’t have the expertise to know how faithful the film is to the novel on which it’s based, or to the reality of events in 1950’s Iraq. That information will have to come from an expert. (My guess is that the portrayal of women’s lives is pretty accurate.)

This is a powerful film. We saw it at the excellent Rochester 360-365 film festival–dumb name but great festival. There’s enough in this film to make it worth seeing, but, in my opinion, not enough to warrant seeking it out at all costs. It should work well on a small screen.

Highly recommended to anyone interested in Art and/or Women’s Issues
Wow, I was about to recommend this film to a friend, and wanted to check the name of the director, and was thoroughly disappointed with the ratings this film received on IMDb. I have watched this movie twice. I wrote a lengthy plot summary of it on Wikipedia (which contains spoilers), which I think still requires shortening.

I believe that any poor ratings or reviews are due to misunderstanding of the film or lack of appreciation for this type of film. If you are not interested in the types of issues the director is addressing, don’t watch it. But don’t tell everyone else that it’s horrible and not worth their time. I beg to differ.

As an Iranian-Canadian woman who has some understanding of the issues Iranian women have faced and still face, this film resonated with me. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in women’s issues in Iran. There is a lot of b.s. about these things, but this film seems to present the issues realistically (although I can’t know for sure because I am no expert in history).

Secondly, this film is visually stunning, and I also highly recommend it as a piece of art. Anyone looking to see a film that is different and special should see it. It is highly allegorical in nature, as some other reviewers have mentioned. I also have to bring up the comment as to the “misleading” nature of the title… obviously it is not meant to be taken literally. The director is trying to show the lives of women, and perhaps there is the suggestion of what they would be like without men, in a world more in-tune with the well-being and aspirations of women (as in the garden).
