(PG-13) Iran/France/Luxembourg – 1 hr 42 min – with subtitles
2025 · d. Jafar Panahi
Starring Vahid Mobasseri, Mariam Afshari, Ebrahim Azizi
Ex-political prisoner Vahid thinks the stranger who happened into his auto shop is the one who tortured him in jail . . . but he’s not 100% certain. So, with the man bound up in the back of his van, Vahid recruits a motley group of fellow survivors to try to verify his identity—and decide whether to exact revenge. The New Yorker called dissident director Jafar Panahi’s Palme d’Or-winning thriller “rip-roaring entertainment, propelled by flurries of comedy, bursts of emotion, and sidelong jolts of social critique.”
