In the post-revolution cinema, where expressive freedom was often limited by state censorship, acting took on a new language — one of subtlety, symbolism, and suggestion. Soraya Ghasemi mastered this. Her eyes often said what dialogue couldn’t. Her performances, layered and nuanced, became a study in restrained emotion. Take, for example, her roles in The Tenth Night or The Pastry Girl. While outwardly playing supportive, maternal roles, there’s always an undercurrent — of wisdom, sacrifice, or silent protest — that only a seasoned performer could deliver.
