New Iranian Film Coming; Goma Going
Opening Friday:

Hit the Road

"Paradoxically, Iran’s cinematic landscape is bursting with powerful, fresh films likely to make an international splash just as talks between Tehran and world powers continue to be deadlocked on reviving the nuclear deal that could lift the country’s crippling sanctions that block exports." - Variety

Director Panah Panahi, son and collaborator of embattled filmmaker Jafar Panahi and apprentice to Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami, makes a striking feature debut with this comic drama. A family of four drives across the Iranian countryside, bonds over memories of the past and grapples with fears of the unknown.

In Persian with English subtitles.

92% on Rotten Tomatoes.

“Panahi’s spare, controlled style unites intimate conflicts and vast landscapes in framings as wry as they are rhapsodic.” – The New Yorker

"The acting is note perfect across the board: six-year-old Rayan Sarlak is an effervescent explosion of rascally energy, while Madjooni is funny, laconic and pissed-off -- often all at once." - Time Out

“To be a passenger alongside these nervous voyagers, as they clash, tease and cherish each other on the way to this strange and terrible fork in their lives, is to be a very fortunate moviegoer indeed.” – Los Angeles Times
