Iran - drama - 125 minutes
Directed by Mohammad Rasoulof, Persian with English Subtitles
This film was clandestinely produced in disavowal of a 20-year filmmaking ban passed down by the Iranian authorities. Drawing from the true story of the government's attempted 1995 murder of several prominent writers and intellectuals, Rasoulof imagines a repressive regime so pervasive that even the morally righteous are subsumed or cast aside. A lacerating and slow-burning thriller filmed in a frigid palate of blues and greys, Manuscripts Don't Burn is perhaps the most subversive and incendiary j'accuse lodged against an authoritarian regime since the fall of the Soviet Union.
