"Crimson Gold"
2003
Directed by Jafar Panahi
A powerful indictment of a repressive society masked
within the story of a pizza delivery man pushed over the edge. Told in a
flashback, the film navigates the polarized streets of Tehran and reveals
the class inequalities, corruption and suffering that eventually lead to the
demise of Hussein (Hussein Emadeddin, a diagnosed schizophrenic and
real-life pizza delivery man). "A stark, minimalist near-masterpiece"
(Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune). Screenplay by Abbas Kiarostami.
Farsi with English subtitles. 95 minutes. |
