Stoning of Saraya M., The
horizontal line

Exquisite cinematography and superb acting highlight this gut-wrenching, heartbreaking, unflinching, eye-opening, factually based film in which a distraught, headstrong, and courageous Iranian woman (Shohreh Aghdashloo) conveys a horrifically sad story to French-Iranian journalist Freidoune Sahebjam about how a malevolent, self-serving, abusive, cruel prison guard (Navid Negahban) concocted a devilish plot against his long-suffering wife (Mozhan MarnĂ²) with the spineless mayor (David Diaan) and an Islamic clergyman (Ali Pourtash) in 1986 Iran by blackmailing an illiterate, widowed mechanic (Parviz Sayyad) to falsely claim that the woman had committed adultery so that he would be free to marry the beautiful daughter of a prisoner after his wife's death.
