The Hidden Half (2001)

An official is sent from his home in Tehran to hear the final appeal of a woman sentenced to death, a political prisoner. The official's wife of nearly 20 years, Fereshteh Samimi, writes him a letter to read when he reaches the hotel - the story of her student days during the revolution of 1978. We see the story in flashbacks as he reads: she leaves her province on scholarship, joins a Communist youth group, avoids arrest, and comes under the sway of a suave older man, Roozbeh Javid, a literary-magazine editor. As she tells her husband about the hidden half of her life, Fereshteh asks that he listen to the woman facing execution, a woman and therefore one of Iran's hidden half.

It's clear that director Milani is more concerned with the emotion of the story than with its politics, which is as it should be. But the emotion often aims too high and resonates too loudly and too forced, like a 1950s Rock Hudson melodrama.

Kevin Thomas 15 Jan 2009

Courageous but uneven The Hidden Half landed the director in jail.

Alex K 08 May 2011

An interesting story and strong performances make this film fairly enjoyable, despite it's extreme ridiculousness at some points. This melodramatic music just seems to follow one of the main characters around, and I couldn't help but laugh every time it happened.

Ultimately, The Hidden Half is shopworn feminist soap opera, enacted in a political echo chamber.

David Ehrenstein 17 Mar 2016

Out of prison, Milani is still not allowed to leave Iran. Whether she will ever get the chance to make another film there is doubtful, all the more reason not to miss this one.
