How Dare You Have Such a Rubbish Wish is a fascinating exploration of women's representation in Iranian cinema, crafted by Mania Akbari who really dives deep into the narrative. The way she stitches together almost a hundred film excerpts, all banned post-revolution, creates an emotional tapestry that feels both personal and collective. It’s not just about reclaiming her body, but rather all those lost stories of women who’ve been silenced. The pacing, at times, feels almost meditative, allowing the viewer to soak in the visuals and reckon with the haunting past. The documentary feels raw, a blend of archival footage and contemporary reflection that challenges norms and evokes a sense of urgency without being overly dramatic. It’s a unique piece that really stands out in the documentary genre.
