Commentary Following the decision by the Iraanse Revolutionaire Garde to make wearing hijabs mandatory in film productions, Iranian director Asghar Farhadi decisively moved the production of his tenth feature film to Paris. It is therefore not surprising that the plot of Histoires parallèles is characterized by political undercurrents and a sharp dissection of current society, combined with a touch of Hitchcockian peeping. In the hands of character actors Vincent Cassell ( La haine ) and Isabelle Huppert ( The Piano Teacher ), the characters come to life perfectly with all their imperfections and ambiguous actions. In Cannes, the film is already contending for the Palme d'Or at the time of printing.
