环境

虐心， 比如你爱的女人为了能留在你身边，决然选择嫁给了你的哥哥；比如富足的生活依然无法填补精神的空虚，迷失于精神漩涡里不可自拔于是堕入宗教狂热的哥哥；比如，盲目并无情的宗教枷锁以及滥用信仰力量鱼肉人民的阶层；比如，十足白色恐怖下的封闭愚昧社会以及大众普遍软弱未开化的心智，并且由此滋生的各种妥协；比如，如此circumstance下，自由进步分子，亦如女主，惟一的出路——出走他乡，远离故土。 片头两只蕾丝边幸福时刻，竟是镜花水月——曾经活跃在俩人私下最美丽幻觉里，那个渴望而绝望的无法成真梦境。如果。额哦，电影虽然高于生活，必须也取之于生活。鉴于中东的独特背景、伊斯兰皈依，虽然看本片之前就预料到那里蕾丝门必然异常水生火热的生存着，看罢更加有感伊朗政府处事待民的暴力残酷行径，实在不解，为什么已成年的女子夜晚开车于市区竟屡次遭到被捕入狱、严苛审讯、折磨虐待。如此看来，无论从哪点来说，中东居民身心的全面解放，路漫漫其修远兮，将上下左右东南西北而求索········

"There isn't any correct way to interpret any piece of art...I don't know what your background is. I don't know if you have some sort of addiction. Do you relate to the brother, who is someone who is struggling as someone who isn't evil? Do you relate to the sister because you've been in that situation? It depends on your background. It depends on many things.""I was always interested in films about family dynamics maybe because I grew up in a huge family...I was fascinated by how does someone who is very liberal, open-minded, who is very much against like what the status quo of the government, how do they create family and sanctuary and utopia.And I think that is very human. Like in any repressive culture people try to create a special space, and what are the vulnerabilities of that.""...it would not be about one issue, because I think that even if you peg these women or say that they are queer, that is one of the many identities that they embody in the film. They are also part of a family, they are also part of a school, there is multiple aspects of how they interact in the world and how they're forced to interact in the world. I didn't want the film to be just about the girls, I wanted it to be about the family and how they struggle.""An interview with Maryam Keshavarz" by Sydney Baloue---(Afterellen)
