Film - My Favourite Cake
A lively but ageing widow of 30 years’ standing decides to shrug off her quotidian existence with an unprecedented fling. But in Iran this risks falling foul of the oppressive regime, as did the film itself.
‘A beautifully delicate and nuanced concoction of a film, exploring themes of love, regret and second chances with nuance and grace.’ – Curzon Film
