DOG SWEAT (ARAGH SAGEE)
2010, Hossein Keshavarz, Iran, 90 min.
With Sara Esfahani, Tahereh Azadi
“A potentially ground-breaking independent film.” —Robert Koehler, Variety
Iranian American director Keshavarz takes a step into risky territory with this cinema vérité drama revolving around the behind-closed-doors lives and loves of seven affluent Tehran 20-somethings. Chaos and uncertainty lurk in the background while repression breeds a sullen sort of daring as Mahsa attempts a forbidden singing career, Hooman hides his homosexuality from his matchmaking mom, Katie uses adultery with her cousin’s husband as a respite from boredom, and shy young lovers Dawood and Katherine search for a safe place to bed down. The title is slang for black market booze. In Persian with English subtitles. HDCAM video. (BS)
