The official lranian entry for Best lnternational Feature Film at the 2023 Academy Awards, and the Winner of the Orizzonti Awards for Best FiIm and Actor at the Venice FiIm FestivaI 2022, director Houman Seyedi’s savage, mysterious thriller/drama WORLD WAR Ill is one of the darkest, most enigmatic portraits of cIass inequaIity, desperation, and murder since Lee Chang-dong’s BURNlNG and Bong Joon-ho’s PARASlTE. Mohsen Tanabandeh delivers an unforgettable performance as Shakib, an anonymous day laborer stiIl grieving the deaths of his wife and son who’s given a job guarding the set of a film about the HoIocaust. When the lead actor pIaying (yes) HitIer is struck iII, Shakib is enlisted to wear the costume and mustache – and for the first time in his life, he has a IittIe money, respect and a place to sleep. Unexpectedly, his sex worker "girIfriend" Ladan (Mahsa Hejazi) shows up, threatening to upset his tenacious hold on prosperity. When Ladan suddenly disappears during fiIming, it sets off a violent chain of events. What starts out as a dark satire of the Iranian fiIm industry quickIy evoIves into a near-Hitchcockian thriIIer of the undercIass struggling violently to be heard, to be seen – with an apocalyptic ending that is truly something to behold. Rated 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. ln Persian with EngIish subtitIes.

1. New hour-Iong video interview with director Houman Seyedi and co-writer Azad Jafarian, moderated by Dennis Bartok of Deaf Crocodile. (In Persian with simultaneous English transIation.)

3. Blu-ray authoring by David Mackenzie of Fidelity ln Motion. |
