Panahi made news recently for his release from Iranian prison after a hunger strike. The director made history in 1995 by winning the Caméra d'Or (best first feature film) at Cannes, making Panahi the first Iranian to win a major award at Cannes. He has since gone on to go on making classics like The Mirror, Offsides, This is Not a Film, Taxi, and most recently No Bears. His progressive films have often been banned by the Iranian government. His work is a testament to the power and love of filmmaking.

What is it! 

Mr. New york times movie review himself! We talk about one of the most iconic movie reviewers currently working.

The lesser known of the Siskel and Ebert show, Gene Siskel was a man with strong opinions. Watch the brothers remain undecided on him.
