About Leila
This film tells the story of a semi modern Iranian couple, who are trying to fight the old beliefs and old generation. This is a failing battle because the man is not strong enough.
Directed by Dariush Mehrjui, Leila leans on a strong ensemble — Leila Hatami, Ali Mosaffa, Jamileh Sheikhi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1999.
