>She also codirected a quite good documentary called Divorce, Iranian Style.
Sundance is running Nose, Iranian Style. I saw it last night:
A surprising, compulsively watchable documentary that raises unsettling questions about human nature and contemporary Iranian society, "Nose Iranian Style" is about Iran leading the world in the number of nose jobs per year, currently estimated at 60,000-70,000.
School girls, but also boys, look forward to their nose operations, which they hope will make them attractive to the opposite sex. Model noses are found in Western fashion mags, but Michael Jackson is also cited. Entire families follow the cookie-cutter fashion, rarely motivated by any real need. Possible reasons behind this rhinoplasty epidemic are the emphasis that scarves and hijabs put on women's faces, and a general feeling of loss of identity among the younger generation. Oskouei and his editors wisely let the patients and surgeons speak for themselves with minimal comment.
