ROXANA (2023)
The latest film from Parviz Shahbazi (TRAPPED, TRAVELER FROM THE SOUTH) delves into the world of Iranian's wayward younger generation. The main character, a 23-year-old named Fred, barely leaves the house, and anytime he does, it is mainly to gamble at a seedy pool hall. When he meets Roxana, a charismatic, seemingly carefree artist with a thriving photography business, it looks as if his life is about to change. But a road trip to the coast with her will teach him how quickly fortune can change in Iran's strict society. (Note adapted from National Museum of Asian Art.)
