Closed Curtain

Summary

Filmed clandestinely during Panahi’s state-imposed filmmaking ban, CLOSED CURTAIN begins as the story of a reclusive screenwriter hiding in a seaside villa with his dog, only to unravel into a self-reflexive meditation on artistic confinement and psychological unrest.As reality slips into metafiction, Panahi confronts his own forced isolation and the fragile boundary between creation and captivity.
