Suitable only for 12 years and over
Two parallel love stories in which couples are thwarted by hidden and unavoidable obstacles, the force of superstition and the mechanics of power.
The mere existence of this film is almost a miracle. Shot in hiding by Jafar Panahi, shortly before he was arrested and sentenced to a six-year prison term, THE BEARS DO NOT EXIST is a major work in the Iranian master’s filmography. A monument to the artist’s commitment to his art, society and freedom of expression.
