“One of the great unseen films of contemporary immigrant life.”
—Museum of Modern Art
Turkish immigrant Husseyin (Iranian actor and director Parviz Sayyad) spends his days as a “guest worker” in ’70s West Berlin, diligently saving up in hopes to one day marry and buy a house back home while suffering the indignities of racism and failed attempts at intimacy. Released in the U.S. for the first time, a criminally underseen work from one of the most celebrated filmmakers in Iranian cinema, Sohrab Shahid-Saless (STILL LIFE).
