The Persian Version
In this Sundance Audience Award winner, a young Iranian woman living in America is forced to confront her family's past. In this pop-culture filled comedy, melodrama, and burlesque melt into one tasty and spicy traditional Pershian dish and genres swirl together like figures in a traditional Pershian dance.
