A remarkable directorial debut by Iranian-born Babak Anvari, rightfully celebrated on the festival circuit and nominated for best foreign language Academy Award, masterfully morphs from the realism of turbulent daily life into a tense and eerie supernatural tale about all the ghosts of post-revolutionary Iran.

Quentin Dupieux (Daaaaaalí!) returns behind the camera with a provocative, absurdist yet hilarious love letter to terrible films and bad actors facing their characters and their lines.
