Appropriate Behaviour

Desiree Akhavan directs and stars in this clever, razor-sharp and fearless comedy following the sexual misadventures of a Brooklynite.

A twentysomething, bisexual Iranian-American woman struggles to conform to traditional Persian standards, figure out her stalled career and negotiate her troubled love life.

Boasting some great set pieces – the threesome scene is destined to become a classic. Appropriate Behaviour breathes the same air as the films of Woody Allen and the work of Lena Dunham. But director and star Desiree Akhavan has a voice very much of her own.
