In light of the current moment, this screening is our contribution to the struggle against the Iranian regime.

Ten is a minimalist film set entirely inside a taxi driving through the streets of Tehran.

A divorced woman behind the wheel engages in conversations with different women, each revealing another facet of their lives, struggles, and longing for freedom within Iranian society.

Through seemingly everyday dialogue, the film builds an intimate, restrained, and quietly critical portrait of women’s lives in contemporary Iran.

USA / 1980

The story of the rise and fall of Jake LaMotta, the world middleweight boxing champion of 1949, based on his autobiographical book.

Robert De Niro delivers one of the greatest and most iconic performances of his career, a role that earned him an Academy Award. He portrays a man consumed by violence, desire, and self destruction, someone who reaches the top but does not know how to remain there.

Martin Scorsese presents a brutal and unforgiving New York, shot in stark black and white that recalls the boxing films and film noir of the 1940s.

This is an uncompromising portrait of a man fighting not only in the ring, but mainly against himself, caught between fame and loneliness, power and fear.

The film also includes a clear homage to Elia Kazan’s On the Waterfront. At his lowest point, LaMotta reenacts Marlon Brando’s famous line:
“I could’ve been somebody…”

Powerful, physical, and emotional cinema that confronts masculinity, violence, and regret head on.

Israel, France / 2004

The first film in the Viviane Amsalem trilogy, To Take a Wife, unfolds over three days inside the family apartment, where Viviane’s brothers gather in an attempt to reconcile her with her husband, Elisha.

Viviane is trapped in a cold, suffocating marriage, while Elisha exerts control through silence, emotional rigidity, and a stubborn refusal to change.

As the efforts at reconciliation continue, the film gradually exposes the intense familial and social pressure placed on Viviane to remain within the marriage at all costs.

The film offers an intimate, claustrophobic portrait of a woman seeking basic freedom within a rigid patriarchal system, laying the emotional and thematic foundations for the entire trilogy.
