My Favourite Cake (12A)
★★★★ A lonely widow seizes the day in this lovely, quietly subversive, bittersweet comedy drama, which drew the ire of the Iranian authorities on its release earlier this year. ~ The Observer.
---
A beautifully delicate and nuanced concoction of a film, My Favourite Cake, co-written and directed by Iranian filmmakers Maryam Moghaddam and Behtash Sanaeeha, explores themes of love, regret and second chances with nuance and grace.
It’s set against the backdrop of a country with strict rules and restrictions, especially when it comes to the rights and freedoms of women.
