A long-anticipated adaptation of the 2003 bestselling novel “Reading Lolita in Tehran” by Azar Nafisi is hitting the Marché du Film at Cannes this month. The film is now in post-production and will be shopped to buyers.

Directed by award-winning director Eran Riklis and written by Marjorie David, the film stars an ensemble cast led by Golshifteh Farahani , Zar Amir-Ebrahimi and Mina Kavani .

According to a synopsis: “As the Islamic Republic took power, morality squads staged arbitrary raids in Tehran and as fundamentalists seized hold of the universities, the women in Nafisi’s living room, whose rights had been systematically removed, risked everything to find a safe space to remove their veils and speak their minds.

The film is an Italian-Israeli co-production. It is produced by Michael Sharfshtein, Marica Stocchi, Moshe Edery, Santo Versace, Gianluca Curti and Riklis. Production companies include United King Films, Topia Communications, Eran Riklis Productions, Minerva Pictures and Rosamont with RAI Cinema.
