THE COVER

THE COVER

This film about daily masks provokes a complex discussion about complexion.

60-words-on-60-seconds film review

A caustic look into double standards in Iran, “The Cover” showcases the many covers that Iranian women use. The most obvious is the hijab that modestly covers the protagonist’s head but through which peek stylish blonde bangs. Less obvious are the beauty standards that she enforces on herself. At least the Louis Vuitton designer medical mask saves her some time.
