‘My Favorite Cake’ review: This 70-Year-Old Iranian woman’s love story is a subversive delight – Berlin Film Festival
Directors Behtash Sanaeeha and Maryam Moghaddam have peppered this gentle story with pointed jibes at the Iranian regime, making no bones about the fact that fun stopped with the Islamic Revolution. And yet its reigning mood is one of wistfulness, summoned by the images of long-ago seaside holidays on Mahin’s walls; she could have emigrated with her daughter years ago, but she is resigned to this reduced life in the country that is will always be home. Title: My Favorite Cake Festival: Berlin (Competition) Sales agent: Totem Films Directors/screenwriters: Maryam Moghaddam, Behtash Sanaeeha Cast: Lily Farhadpour, Esmail Mehrabi Running time: 1 hr 37 min
