Description
Winner of the top prize at the 2011 Busan International Film Festival, Morteza Farshbaf's debut feature is unique in a number of ways--not the least of which is that the two main characters are deaf and communicate almost entirely in sign language. As the characters bicker during a road trip, the audience learns tantalizing pieces of information about their passenger, a young relative whose parents disappeared in the middle of the night. A protege of Abbas Kiarostami, Farshbaf "fashions a consistently surprising and blackly comic road trip that may herald the arrival of a major new Iranian talent" (Institute of Contemporary Art, London). (Dir.: Morteza Farshbaf, Iran, 2011, 84 min., Persian and sign language with English subtitles)
