- Summary:
- The earliest complete surviving feature film directed by an Iranian woman, Marva Nabili’s THE SEALED SOIL chronicles a young woman (Flora Shabavis) and her resistance to an upcoming forced marriage, a rebellion quickly misinterpreted by her family as demonic possession. Breathtaking in its directorial restraint and unblinking in its critique of institutionalized misogyny, this is a too-long-underseen masterstroke of world cinema.
