Reading Lolita in Tehran Trailer

“Great books are supposed to make you feel uneasy, and make you question what you take for granted.” Greenwich Entertainment & Kanopy have revealed the official US trailer for the film Reading Lolita in Tehran, a story about Iranian resistance now releasing in July this summer. This originally premiered in 2024 at the Rome Film Fest, where it won the Audience Award as well as Special Jury Prize. It also played at numerous other festivals but isn’t getting a full release in US theaters until this year. In revolutionary Iran, as fundamentalists tighten their grip on society, a professor secretly gathers a handful of her most dedicated female students from her university to read and discuss forbidden classics of Western literature, including Lolita and Pride & Prejudice. Based on the bestselling memoir by Azar Nafisi about her life in 1980s Tehran. Starring Golshifteh Farahani as Azar Nafisi, Zar Amir Ebrahimi, Mina Kavani, Reza Diako, Arash Marandi, Catayoune Ahmadi, & Sina Parvaneh. The reviews are pretty good for this, describing it as a story about “culture as a tool against oppression.” An inspiring story that we need right now. Worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›
