"Golshifteh Farahani is the protagonist of Anup Singh’s third feature, “The Song of Scorpions,” and the film, world premiering at Locarno, is another stepping stone for an actress who keeps on challenging herself. In the film, Farahani’s character Nooran lives in India’s Rajasthan desert, training to heal scorpion bites with her songs, until tragedy envelops her. The Iranian actress, now based in France, sat down with Variety to talk about embracing a new language and culture, and how, having been forced to leave Iran, she finds comfort in the discomfort of exploring her own limits with each role."
