Mehrjui brought along an actress from that film, Golshifteh Farahani, up on the podium for the interview. She's in town because she's now broken through into Hollywood circles, by staring in the recent Ridley Scott film Body of Lies as Leonardo DiCaprio's love interest. Golshifteh had her first Hollywood red carpet experience for its premiere, which she mentioned at Sunday's event was her "avaleen baar keh rooeh farsheh qermez bedooneh hejab boodam". The breakthrough has Franco-Iranians contemplating what it all means.

Oh, and I took a couple of shots of the evening with my cell phone, but the mobile shots look like shite. But maybe I'll making a movie out of them. An existential one. So there's one on your left.
