Famed Iranian film director Dariush Mehrjui ("The Cow", "The Pear Tree") was murdered, along with his wife, in a stabbing attack by an unknown assailant at their home in Iran, Iranian state media reported on Sunday.
Mehrjui fought state censorship his entire career, but he was one of the more outspoken critics of Tehranβs Islamic regime. Last year, he posted a video blasting the government for the suppression of his last, now likely final, feature, A Minor.
