Hamoun (film)

Hamoun (هامون, also Romanized as Hamoon, Hamun, Hāmoun, Hāmoon, and Hāmun) is a 1989 psychological drama film directed by Dariush Mehrjui.

Mahshid hails from a rich family but marries the middle class Hamoun after falling for his intellectual tastes and progressive views.

After 7 years of marriage, Mahshid, who once was very much in love with Hamoun soon, sees him as a constricting force against her desire to do something meaningful with her life.

Hamoun who wishes to pursue a career as a writer, while simultaneously preparing for his PhD thesis, occasionally takes out his frustration at his wife.

The subsequent scenes portray Hamoun's realisations, coupled with dreamlike sequences resembling those from some of Federico Fellini's films.
