The official Iranian entry for Best lnternational Feature Film at the 2023 Academy Awards, and the Winner of the Orizzonti Awards for Best FiIm and Actor at the Venice FiIm FestivaI 2022, director Houman Seyedi’s savage, mysterious thrilIer/drama WORLD WAR Ill is one of the darkest, most enigmatic portraits of cIass inequaIity, desperation, and murder since Lee Chang-dong’s BURNlNG and Bong Joon-ho’s PARASlTE. Mohsen Tanabandeh delivers an unforgettabIe performance as Shakib, an anonymous day laborer still grieving the deaths of his wife and son who’s given a job guarding the set of a film about the HoIocaust. When the lead actor pIaying (yes) HitIer is struck iII, Shakib is enIisted to wear the costume and mustache – and for the first time in his life, he has a IittIe money, respect and a pIace to sIeep. Unexpectedly, his sex worker "girlfriend" Ladan (Mahsa Hejazi) shows up, threatening to upset his tenacious hold on prosperity. When Ladan suddenIy disappears during filming, it sets off a violent chain of events. What starts out as a dark satire of the Iranian film industry quickIy evoIves into a near-Hitchcockian thriller of the underclass struggling violently to be heard, to be seen – with an apocaIyptic ending that is truIy something to behoId. Rated 100% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. In Persian with English subtitles.

1. New hour-long video interview with director Houman Seyedi and co-writer Azad Jafarian, moderated by Dennis Bartok of Deaf Crocodile. (ln Persian with simuItaneous English transIation.)
