Iranian Movie Night: "Crimson Gold" (11.14)

What: We will be screening the awarding winning movie "Crimson Gold." The following is a synopsis of this movie: Award-winning filmmaker Jafar Panahi's (The White Balloon,The Circle) latest triumph is an intimate and absorbing drama about the ways in which the hypocrisies and slights of daily life can push otherwise reasonable people over the edge. Based on true events and written by acclaimed director Abbas Kiarostami (A Taste of Cherry), CRIMSON GOLD is the story of Hussein, a humble pizza deliveryman who feels continually humiliated by the injustices he sees all around him. When his friend Ali finds a receipt for a stranger's necklace purchase, Hussein is stunned by its exceptionally high cost...Winner of the Jury Award at the Cannes Film Festival and Winner of Best Film at the Chicago Film Festival, this is a movie not to be missed.
When: Monday, Nov. 11th @ 6:00PM
Location: 110 Barrows
