Tehran Taboo is a marvelous chronicle of a country through the prism of rotoscope, with the overlay of striking animation giving writer-director Ali Soozandeh's acutely observed characters an extra dimension.

The ace in the film's style pack is the animation. Without it, we might feel we're watching just another docudrama about life and death in fanatical Islam. October 3, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
