Jafar Panahi's Taxi
First screened in September 2015
Director: Jafar Panahi. Cast: Jafar Panahi, Hana Saeidi, Nasrin Sotoudeh, a score of others protected by their anonymity. Screenplay: Jafar Panahi. Twitter Capsule:
Feels less ambitious than Panahi's two previous house-arrest movies but it's funny and wise and has good tricks up its sleeve.

I found it more provoking as a capstone and entrypoint to Panahi's career so far than as an exemplar of creativity under duress. Clever, engaging, important. Still, lingers less than his others.
