The Last Night

A fine example of the femaleled melodramas of the 1950s that revived Iranian cinema after a long hiatus during WWII The Last Night follows Monir a happily married woman who gets blackmailed by her former lover and must rely on an actress to clear her name Theres a striking sense of 1950s Iranian cosmopolitanism especially when the camera leaves the studio and ventures into the streets of Tehran or the ski resorts in the north of the city
