Since being cast at age 14 in Dariush Mehrjui’s The Pear Tree, Tehran-born musician/actress Golshifteh Farahani has put together an impressive run of multilingual performances in films made in Iran, the United States, and Europe—France having become her adopted home after the iconoclastic actress was banned in 2009 from working in the Islamic Republic.
