"Tatami", shown in the"Orizzonti" section of the Venice Film Festival, recounts the story of an Iranian judo star who rejects her government's rules about never facing an Israeli athlete in an international competition. Amir, who now lives in exile in France, won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival last year for her part in"Holy Spider" as a journalist tracking down a serial killer of prostitutes in the Iranian holy city of Mashhad.
Iran's crackdown on filmmakers was underlined again last month when director Saeed Roustaee was reportedly given a six-month suspended prison sentence for screening his film"Leila's Brothers" in Cannes last year"without authorisation".'Same kind of revolution'"Miraculously, you can see that in Israel and Iran, the same kind of revolution is going on," he told AFP.
