Representation of dominant cultural patterns on women's society in Kiarostami cinema

This study aims to investigate women in Kiarostami cinema in different historical and social periods to discover and represent the cultural patterns that have dominated women's society.

These concepts and categories in (the film report) are made in passive and violent subjects, in (the film Shirin) they are incapable and of course can be used in some cases for the benefit of men's conditions and in (the film Ten), they are dependent on the decisions and preferences of men's society. , have been represented which, in fact, introduces women as having a subordinate and non-independent identity.
In this way, women face not only structural and social obstacles for progress and change in their lives, but the structure of the patriarchal system, like conscience, is deeply rooted in their minds and thoughts, and even in their absence, it sends a powerful message to women and to them. He reminds them to follow the instructions.
