An atmospheric, acclaimed comedy.
Winter. Ergens tussen Teheran en Winnipeg. Negin en Nazgol vinden een som geld dat diep in het ijs van het trottoir is bevroren en proberen een manier te vinden om het eruit te krijgen. Massoud leidt een groep verbijsterde toeristen op een steeds vreemdere wandeltocht langs de historische bezienswaardigheden van Winnipeg. Matthew zegt zijn baan bij de regering van Québec op en begint aan een mysterieuze reis om zijn vervreemde moeder te bezoeken.

I Shoulda Never Smoke That Shit Now Im At Tha Brutalist Iranian Tim Hortons
there’s such a thin line between homages that re-contextualize the original material in an interesting way vs. embarrassing ripoffs that leave you wishing you were watching the good stuff (kill bill to lady snowblood vs. joker to king of comedy) but this hits it out of the park as the former. which is all the more impressive when you consider the sheer number of distinct voices it pulls from (kiarostami, tati, kaurismäki, andersson). i was immediately snapped back to my 2019 screening of twentieth century when i couldn’t wrap my head around what i was watching but was blown away by the commitment to its artificiality. this is only slightly more coherent than century (as someone who doesn’t think about Winnipeg ever) but i was way more charmed by the quirks here.also, one of my favorites Q&As i’ve ever attended, he talked about leaning into artifice in a way i haven’t heard any of the greats that dabble in that approach talk about it. j’adore
“Iranian cinema emerges out of a thousand years of poetry, Winnipeg cinema emerges out of 50 years of infomercials.”- Matthew Rankin in the Q&A
The film follows three intersecting stories in a surreal, dreamlike vision of Winnipeg that mirrors the stylistic hallmarks of classic Iranian cinema.
The film was directed by Canadian filmmaker Matthew Rankin in 2024, known for his distinctively surrealist and deadpan approach to cinema.
