Iran 2010, 90 minutes
Dir. Rafi Pitts
Persian
Rating: [M]
Genres: Foreign Cinema, Drama, Suspense/Crime

Aroview: Spare, lyrical drama with a low-paid security guard on the run from authorities after gunning down two police officers. Unfolding against the backdrop of modern-day Tehran, Pitts film favours an enigmatic approach and key details are withheld from the viewer, but the film is also subtly political and as a portrait of modern Iran it excels.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
1 star (Turkey) Terrific audio on this Iran/German production but it's a terribly bleak open-ended depressing story. Unsatisfying, not recommended. ~Sandy
