TEHRAN – The Iranian director Tahmineh Milani has began making a sequel to “Ceasefire”, her acclaimed film that broke box office records in Iran in 2006.
“Ceasefire 2” is about the encounter of a young educated couple with their former family counselor after some years, during which the couple reviews their lives and some of the dramatic events that happened over the past years.
The film is currently being shot on location in Tehran.
Bahram Radan, Mitra Hajjar, Atila Pesyani, Mehraneh Mahin-Torabi and Pejman Jamshidi star in the film.
Mohammad Nikbin, Milani’s husband, is the producer of the film.
Milani wrote the screenplay for “Ceasefire” based on American writer and art therapist Lucia Capacchione’s “Recovery of Your Inner Child”.
Starring Mohammadreza Golzar and Mahnaz Afshar, the film tells the story of a young couple who are seeking a divorce, but end up realizing that they just need to face their inner child to overcome their problems.
In most of her films, Milani shows men oppressing women in some way. Consequently, the 53-year-old director has been labeled as the feminist filmmaker of Iranian cinema.
