Tehran Taboo (Persian: تهران تابو) is a 2017 Persian-language adult animated drama film written and directed by Ali Soozandeh.

[1] Animated through rotoscope, the film tells the story of three women and a male musician living in Tehran and their desperate attempts at coping with Iran's strict religious laws and resulting double standards.

[7][8] Soozandeh used the rotoscoping process because it was impossible to shoot the movie in Tehran, and other cities have their own traits that made them inappropriate for a realistic film set in Iran.

[11] New York Times critic Ben Kenigsberg said the movie "lays bare the double standards that surround sex in Iran."

Its "confrontational quality", he said, was set in the opening scene, in which the prostitute Pari is hired to perform sexual services by an anonymous client who, "moments later expresses horror when he spots a man holding hands with his daughter."

She praised the actress playing the prostitute Pari, saying that there was "something that recalls Anna Magnani's earthiness and great heart in Rafizadeh's many-hued performance."
