Azar Nafisi: “The only way I could save myself was to write this story as it happened and not as the regime fabricated and that’s what Eran did with the film”


From the best seller book by Iranian author Azar Nafisi comes the film “Reading Lolita in Teheran” by Eran Riklis.

The film premiered at the 19th Rome Film Fest where it was shot as it is an international co-production.

“Reading Lolita in Teheran” brings to cinema life the real and intimate story of women in Iran, fighting the regime with literature, art, trying to save their souls.

Along with Azar Nafisi and the entire cast of the film, Israeli director Eran Riklis tells us about the work he did on adapting the book to the big screen as Azar Nafisi’s “Reading Lolita in Teheran”, with its depiction of both human relationships and political and global matters, struck a deep emotional chord in him.

Azar Nafisi explains that she was desperately trying to survive as her whole world was controlled by the regime. She then found her way to do it: “The only way I could save myself was to write this story as it happened and not as the regime fabricated and that’s what Eran did with the film”.

Plot

Azar Nafisi, a former professor at Tehran University, secretly gathers seven of her most committed female students to read forbidden western classics. As fundamentalists seize control, the women remove their veils, speak about their intimate hopes, loves and disappointments, their femininity and their search for a place in an increasingly oppressive society. By reading Lolita in Tehran, they celebrate the liberating power of literature in revolutionary Iran and form their own future.
