  • 2016 · Thriller

    A Los Angeles gallery owner is sent the manuscript of a novel by her ex-husband, and the film cuts between her reading it and the story on the page. Two stories at once, and the one in the book is nasty.

    2016 · Drama

    A Tehran couple rehearsing a stage production of Death of a Salesman move into a new flat, where something happens to the wife one evening and the husband sets out to find who was responsible. Quiet and slow, and built almost entirely out of arguments.
