PARIS — Growing up in Iran, Golshifteh Farahani was a rebel. She - TopicsExpress

PARIS — Growing up in Iran, Golshifteh Farahani was a rebel. She persuaded her classmates to go on strike because their school had no heat, and she lied to her parents so that her sister could spend time with her boyfriend. In a protest against the head scarf at 16, she shaved her head, taped down her breasts, dressed like a boy and rode a bicycle around Tehran. At 17, she rejected her parents’ wish that she study piano in Vienna and pursued acting instead. “There’s an expression in Persian, ‘to play with the lion’s tail,’ ” she said here in a recent interview in English. “I wasn’t what Iranian society wanted me to be — a good girl. I played with the lion’s tail.” Her latest film, “The Patience Stone,” which opens in New York on Wednesday, is also a statement of rebellion, though a somewhat tame one compared with the controversy that led to her condemnation in Iran this year. The film was directed by the Afghan-born Atiq Rahimi, based on his novel of the same title that won the Prix Goncourt, France’s most prestigious literary prize. It tells of a young Afghan mother of two who is turned into a caregiver for her husband after he is shot and falls into a coma.
