FISH & CAT

"Initially looks as if it might be the first Iranian slasher movie, but all is not as it seems." - Variety

A group of attractive young Iranian kite-flying enthusiasts gather at a dismal lake, near a restaurant where two sinister characters straight out of TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE serve up grisly fare. Shahram Mokri’s breakout second feature is an brilliant and unclassifiable single-shot meditation on '70s American slasher films, but filtered through a purely arthouse lens. Eerie, circular and mysterious and with unexpected tangents, FISH & CAT is a “horror” film in the same way Tarkovsky’s STALKER is “science fiction.”
