“The future remains uncertain” is the closing title card in Iranian actress turned director Pegah Ahangarani’s Rehearsals for a Revolution, a powerful autobiographical account of the political turmoil that has wracked her homeland from 1979 until now.
“Uncertain” is indeed the right word for what’s been happening in Iran over just the past few months, with a war — or conflict or intervention, depending on which world leader is speaking — that was undertaken with no clear objective and seems to have no workable solution.
