I was thinking re. Samira Makhmalbaf that what is really missing from her films is the element of sensuality - they’re totally sexless - which is partly cos of censorship but i think also a limitation of hers. (Being only nine, or so.)

Apparently there’s an amazing Iranian woman director named Bani-Etemad whose films are very much about gender and sexuality. But I don’t know if they exist on video or where I’d see them…
