PIG

Hasan is the best living director in Iran, at least he thinks so. As the government has forbidden him to work though, he is forced to be content with filming commercials. When a serial killer starts decapitating the most renowned directors in the Iranian cinema landscape and Hasan (still) gets to keep his head, the angry filmmaker goes on the offensive.Mani Haghighi is the renegade of contemporary Iranian cinema: with biting humor he fillets Iran’s intellectual scene, and garners his bitter satire with mind-bending dream sequences and a giant cockroach-musical. Can someone call Josef Hader about an Austrian remake?
