Radiograph of a Family Trailers

"Mother married a photo of Father," says director Firouzeh Khosrovani in the opening of this deeply personal documentary. She's not speaking metaphorically though. Her mother Tayi literally married a portrait of Hossein in Teheran -he was in Switzerland studying radiology and was unable to travel back to his homeland for the wedding. The event illustrates the abyss that still exists in their marriage: Hossein is a secular progressive and Tayi a devout, traditional Muslim.

Reviews
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
