Internationally acclaimed director Jafar Panahi (The Circle) has been officially banned from filmmaking since 2010. In a courageous act of artistic and political defiance he has made three features since then: This is Not a Film (2011), Closed Curtain (2013), and now Jafar Panahi's Taxi. In Taxi, he drives a yellow cab through the vibrant streets of Tehran, picking up a diverse (and yet representative) group of passengers in a single day. Each man, woman, and child candidly expresses his or her own view of the world, while being interviewed by the curious and gracious driverdirector. His camera, placed on the dashboard of his mobile film studio, captures a spirited slice of Iranian society while also brilliantly redefining the borders of comedy, drama and cinema.brbrBonus Features: 5.1 Surround Sound, Booklet Essay by Filmmaker and Scholar Jamsheed Akrami, Trailer
