Description

Jean Vigo's only feature, together with his three shorts

 

One of the first films of the Iranian New Wave, The Apple is the extraordinary debut of Samira Makhmalbaf, made when she was just seventeen.

Based on a compelling, bizarre true story, the film follows twelve year-old twin sisters kept virtual prisoners all their lives by their parents, who fear that exposure to the sun will cause them to fade.

Told with unaffected charm and natural humour, The Apple won the London Film Festival s Sutherland Trophy for best first feature and its young director went on to become one of Iran's most acclaimed filmmakers.
