Iranian Film Festival 2009: Loose Rope
Film |
| |
(2008, 82 min., Persian with English subtitles, directed by Mehrshad Karkhani, Iran) Two young rural men who work at the animals market in Tehran have only twenty-four hours to take a large cow from downtown to the northern part of the city -- or else their jobs and futures are at stake. The spectators follow their obligatory journey with the rope, which is tied around the cow.
