The Queen and I

About This Movie

So, The Queen and I, it's this fascinating documentary that dives into the lives of two exiled women connected by Iran's turbulent history. Nahid Persson really captures the essence of their meeting, which is filled with tension and understanding, given the stark contrast of their pasts. The pacing is contemplative, allowing for deep reflection on identity and loss. Queen Farah's candidness mixed with Persson's probing questions paints a complex picture of life after the Shah. The atmosphere feels intimate yet charged, as they navigate their shared yet opposing experiences. It’s not just about politics, but also personal stories of resilience and survival. Quite a thought-provoking watch, to say the least.
