 Obituary: Marzieh Nabil Carpenter Gail
Marzieh and Howard were obedient, but when doctors advised a return to the United States as Howard's only hope for recovery, the Guardian contributed funds for their release from Tehran and to their long journey by plane and ship back to San Francisco.

Marzieh was productive, due in large part to the sacrificial services of her husband, who typed, cooked, did the laundry, and otherwise took care of all domestic and practical matters for his wife.

Marzieh's father was a learned scholar of Shi'i Islam, and her mother, who encouraged her to sing, came from an artistic family which included sculptors, painters, miniaturists, and other musicians.
Marzieh, a charismatic and vivacious woman whose singing voice is as strong today as it was when she began her career more than 50 years ago, grows indignant as she describes this interpretation of her religion.
Marzieh declined to resume her career under the new rules, vowing not to sing in public in Iran until the government of the mullahs had fallen.

 Chicago Reader Movie Review
For all his enormous success, Makhmalbaf remains in some respects a working-class hero in Iran, and his fundamentalist background serves as a reminder of how far he has traveled.
In the press book he writes, "Five years ago, while I had been the most prolific Iranian filmmaker, with 14 feature films, 3 shorts, 28 books, and 22 editing credits over a 14-year career, I stopped making films and decided to make filmmakers.
Some Western commentators have scoffed at Makhmalbaf's claims, maintaining that he's the real director of these three films and that his time would be better spent owning up to his auteur status.

Adrian Danks is President and co-curator of the Melbourne Cinémathèque, co-editor of Cteq: Annotations on Film, and Head of Cinema Studies at RMIT University, School of Applied Communication.
These 'popular' or general accounts often discount the female-centred authorship and specificity of the films by pointing to what are perceived as the obvious 'fingerprints' of Mohsen's involvement and influence.
Ultimately, one of things that is so remarkable about the films of Marzieh Meshkini and Samira Makhmalbaf are the ways they both connect to and depart from Mohsen's work.

In a tableau worthy of Rene Magritte, the boys arrange her purchases on the sandy beach; bereft of love, children and companionship (she's neither mother, daughter or wife), Hoora can't figure out what's missing.
Written by maverick Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf (GABBEH, THE SILENCE) and directed with startling refinement by his young wife, Marzieh Meshkini, this is one of a handful of films to come out of the now-defunct Makhmalbaf Film House, a school founded by Makhmalbaf to teach his family and friends the art of filmmaking.
Throughout its four-year existence, the school never gained government approval, and if this deceptively straightforward film is any indication, it's plain why.

Your article in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs in the Oct./Nov. issue titled "Marzieh, Iran's Best-Loved Singer, Touring for Resistance Group" was astonishingly delightful to everyone who read it, regardless of knowing that charismatic character or not.
The author, Richard Curtiss, said, "There is little in the life of this one-time icon of Iranian art and culture to explain her conversion, at age 69, to a firebrand activist willing to risk everything for a political cause." However, I have to expand this view.
