An Iranian Gangster Fairytale! Winner Best Actor and Best Picture at DTLAFF!
Synopsis:
As a child soldier, Behrouz (Reza Sixo Safai) miraculously survived the Iran-Iraq War to be squirreled away to the streets of Los Angeles. After two decades under the ruthless Iranian mobster Cirrus Golshiri (Parviz Sayyad), Behrouz leaves the underworld to follow his American Dream of becoming a “Real Estate Man.” But after a chance encounter involving a high-stakes poker game, he is brought back into the life he left behind. THE PERSIAN CONNECTION is an electric neon-noir fever dream set in the Persian opium underworld of Los Angeles.
“There’s plenty to love about this rave-club shade of action.”
“It's an L.A. that feels new and fresh with nearly every frame.”
“An American dream painted in the hues of the Iranian flag.”
“Hyper-sexual thrills.”
"A sleek, sexified thriller that’s purposefully perverse, and 100% unique.”
