Nose, Iranian Style is a 2005 Iraniandocumentary film directed byMehrdad Oskouei. It is about nose jobs (rhinoplasty) in Iran, which statistically has the most of any country.[1] The documentary employs a semi-comedic tone, with the title referencing the earlier filmDivorce, Iranian Style.[2]Nose, Iranian Style relates the trend topolitics, with it and the 2007 documentaryTehran: 11 pm connecting it to the importance of appearance, given the taboo of men and women directly and socially interacting.[3] However, Oskouei said the film was truly a critique of excessiveconsumerism.[4]
Variety critic Deborah Young positively reviewedNose, Iranian Style as "A surprising, compulsively watchable documentary."[1] It became Oskouei's most famous film internationally.[4]
