Happy Birthday, Hediyeh Tehrani
I first encountered Iranian actress Hediyeh Tehrani&#;s work when I covered the Tribeca Film Festival in (it was my first real &#;gig&#;). was assigned to review Fireworks Wednesday. This was my introduction to Iranian film. Fireworks Wednesday was intriguing enough for me to institute a crash course. I saw as much as I could get my hands on. Fireworks Wednesday was a good &#;way in&#; too: It was directed by Asghar Farhadi, who would go on to win the Oscar for A Separation &#; and finally, recently, About Elly (which I consider equal to A Separation) was rescued from obscurity for a long-delayed U.S. release. Fireworks Wednesday was also my introduction to Tehrani &#; as well as to Taraneh Alidoosti &#; (she was also the &#;Elly&#; in About Elly, as well as the wife in The Salesman). But Tehrani was the one who intrigued me first, who pulled me in, who made me sit up and pay close attention. &#;Okay. Focus. This actress is GOOD.
