More Info	ISAA presents: Movie Night- Marmoolak (The Lizard) Director:Kamal Tabrizi Stars: Parviz Parastui, Bahram Ibrahimi and Shahrokh Foroutanian ...Release Date:April 2004 (Iran) *With English Subtitles Time: Thursday, November 11, 2010, 7:00pm Location: Persian Center - 2029 Durant Ave. Berkeley, CA The Lizard (Persian: مارمولک , Marmoulak) is a 2004 Iranian comedy directed by Kamal Tabrizi. This film was released in 2004. The director had problems getting the movie released as many clerics found the movie offensive. The movie was released during Norooz holidays in Iran, and had a very short, but successful one month run. Plot: Reza (Parviz Parastui) is a thief known to his underworld cronies as "The Lizard" thanks to his gift for scaling walls and climbing buildings. However, Reza's talent doesn't prevent him from being periodically caught by police; he's sent to a prison where the warden, who regards Reza as morally corrupt, takes it upon himself to torture him into a more spiritually pure state. Reza soon strikes up a friendship with a mullah (an Islamic priest) who offers a more benevolent and humanistic spiritual viewpoint. But, while Reza admires the mullah, that doesn't stop him from taking the holy man's clothes as a disguise for an escape attempt. The Film is in Persian with English subtitles.
