Début et fin très bons mais entre 2 on oscille entre comédie et tragédie. Jeu d’acteurs moyen. Prouesse d’avoir tourné à Téhéran, dénonciation des absurdités du régime, de la corruption et de la torture mais ça ne valait pas une palme d’or
Synopsis
An unassuming mechanic is reminded of his time in an Iranian prison when he encounters a man he suspects to be his sadistic jailhouse captor.
