Nose, Iranian Style is a 2005 Iranian documentary film directed by Mehrdad Oskouei. It is about nose jobs (rhinoplasty) in Iran, which statistically has the most of any country. [1] The documentary employs a semi-comedic tone, with the title referencing the earlier film Divorce, Iranian Style . [2] Nose, Iranian Style relates the trend to politics, with it and the 2007 documentary Tehran: 11 pm connecting it to the importance of appearance, given the taboo of men and women directly and socially interacting. [3] However, Oskouei said the film was truly a critique of excessive consumerism. [4]

Variety critic Deborah Young positively reviewed Nose, Iranian Style as "A surprising, compulsively watchable documentary." [1] It became Oskouei's most famous film internationally. [4]
