Razor's Edge: The Legacy of Iranian Actresses is a 2016 documentary written and directed by Bahman Maghsoudlou. The film examines the Iranian film industry, starting in the 1930s and through the Iranian Revolution of 1979. The film features extensive interviews many with the actresses themselves, and clips from films.

Background

The film focuses on the dual issues of the general attitude towards women (particularly women in the arts) in Iranian society and problems with censorship, the latter often arising from the former. The actresses and their male counterparts were so thoroughly blackballed by the Islamic government that it was even forbidden for the media to mention their names in print.

This film is the second in Maghsoudlou's series on Iranian cinema and the seventh in his series on important Iranian cultural figures.

The film is particularly notable for the number of actresses from the period in question who agreed to be interviewed for it, as well as the rare film clips that Maghsoudlou assembled to give non-Iranians the chance to glimpse a national cinema that has not been seen in many parts of the world.
