A vibrant, daringly original work from Abbas Kiarostami, Shirin is the flowering of an experimentalist streak that's been evident in many of the director's most well-known features. An audience of more than 100 women are deeply absorbed in watching a film we never see. We observe instead how the drama plays out on the faces of the audience, seen in close up.
