To Stay Alive ( Persian: بمانی, translit. Bemani, Romanized as Bemāni) is a 2002 Iranian drama film directed by Dariush Mehrjui. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival. [1]
Variety wrote, "Bemani is an extreme film detailing extreme acts of desperation that, like Mohsen Makhmalbaf’s Kandahar, uses artistic license to make its point like a kick in the stomach." [2]
