"Kajillionaire": A Strange, Beautiful, and Gentle Story of Lost and Found Home
'Kajillionaire' is a touching and eccentric story about family, crime, and the search for belonging.
The Last Night
A fine example of the female-led melodramas of the 1950s that revived Iranian cinema after a long hiatus during WWII, The Last Night follows Monir, a happily married woman who gets blackmailed by her former lover and must rely on an actress to clear her name. There’s a striking sense of 1950s Iranian cosmopolitanism, especially when the camera leaves the studio and ventures into the streets of Tehran or the ski resorts in the north of the city.
