Mainline (2006)
21 Mar 2007 • Drama • 1h 17m
Picking up from her highly successful 'Under the Skin of the City', the mother of Iranian cinema Rakshan Bani-Etemad returns to her artistic city Tehran to document the plight of its drug dependent population. Narrating the spiralling relationship between a mother and her addict daughter, we are presented with all faces of poverty and desperation, as the drugs put an emotional and financial strain on the family. Adopting hand-held camera work, Bani-Etemad continues her realist visual style in this gritty study of urban life.
