Dissident Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof, a longtime critic of the regime (THERE IS NO EVIL, MANUSCRIPTS DON’T BURN), shot his latest, THE SEED OF THE SACRED FIG (Special Jury Prize winner at the Cannes Film Festival) clandestinely — fleeing the country after receiving an 8-year prison sentence. His new film is a tense familial drama: when Iman is promoted to investigating judge on Tehran’s high court, he and his wife, Najmeh, are excited for their elevated social status. But when his government-issued gun goes missing while his daughters Resvan and Sana are glued to their phones, expressing support for women-led student protests, Iman grows increasingly paranoid and mistrusting of his own loved ones. Not only a lacerating critique of a patriarchal regime crumbling from within, but “a thriller of propulsive skill and blunt emotional force, marrying the muscularity of an action film to the psychological intensity of a chamber drama.” —Justin Chang, The New Yorker
