Sosan Taslimi; A woman who fought and won

The next collaboration between Taslimi and Bayzai was the 1986 “Bashu, the Little Stranger,” which became one of most popular films in Iranian cinema. In November 1999, 150 critics and movie professionals described it as “the best Iranian movie of all time.” It portrayed the upheaval caused by the Iran-Iraq war through the story of a boy from the war-torn Iranian south who finds refuge in the north of the country. The film, however, was not allowed to be screened in Iran until 1989, after the war was over.
