"  In The Stoning of Soraya M., by Los Angeles\u2013based director Cyrus Nowrasteh, the men of an Iranian village condemn a young mother to a brutal death for alleged adultery so that her husband can marry a teenage hottie. Based on a 1986 incident, the movie plays like a propaganda-packed soap opera: The village men are evil misogynists except for one trapped soul, and most of the women are gloating harpies. Ironically, the climactic stoning sequence has the nuance and detail the rest of the movie lacks and is worth watching if only because it depicts the unimaginable. Still, the movie is toxic: You leave the theater wanting to carpet bomb the place. For an antidote, go to the source\u2014four great films by Iranian new wave directors reflecting far more accurately the situation of women in a country ruled by religious tyrants: Samira Makhmalbaf&amp;#039;s The Apple (1998), Jafar Panahi&amp;#039;s The Circle (2000), Abbas Kiarostami&amp;#039;s Ten (2002), and Bahman Ghobadi&amp;#039;s Turtles Can Fly (2004).
