Examines the close and volatile relationship between a highly popular art form, the production of culture, and the politics of power in a society. Through a critical analysis of Mohsen Makhmalbaf's films, Egan reveals the social and political context of Iran's national cinema under the Islamic Republic. It tracks the emergence of Iranian cinema since the Islamic Revolution, as Makhmalbaf, one of Iran's most influential filmmakers, and a committed artist whose work is provocative and never far from controversy, sought to engage the dramatic social and political upheavals that have taken place over the past twenty-four years.
