Short description
A yellow cab is driving through the vibrant and colourful streets of Tehran. Very diverse passengers enter the taxi, each candidly expressing their views while being interviewed by the driver who is no one else but the director Jafar Panahi himself. His camera placed on the dashboard of his mobile film studio captures the spirit of Iranian society through this comedic and dramatic drive…
What's left behind the scenes
- Three compact "Blackmagic Design Pocket Cinema Camera" cameras were used to film the movie.
- His previous two films – “This Is Not a Film” (2011) and “Closed Curtain” (2013) – were secretly filmed by Jafar Panahi at his home. This film was shot on the streets of Tehran, but the camera never left the taxi.
- This is Jafar Panahi's third film made since he received a 20-year ban on filmmaking due to anti-government activities and participation in protests against the official results of the 2009 Iranian elections.
- To avoid attracting attention, additional lighting could not be used in the taxi. Instead, Jafar Panahi made a hatch in the car's roof, thereby obtaining enough light for filming.
- The passengers in the taxis were played by non-professional actors whose identities remained unknown.
