I swear that for every news article about Jafar Panahi’s release there are five hundred about the new Sex and the City film set in Abu Dhabi. Surely I can’t be the only one who thinks that, as middle-east-based film-world matters go, the fate of Jafar Panahi is actually more important than Carrie Bradshaw? Or am I being naive? I’m sorry - I do like her shoes - but perhaps I like his defiance even more.
