Iran movie ‘Two Dogs’ releases trailer

Iranian movie ‘Two Dogs’ has released a trailer.

Directed by Amir Azizi, ‘Two Dogs’ is about Iman and Sajjad, two young men who are struggling with problems typical for 30-year-olds in contemporary Iran.

Iman is translating Franz Kafka’s ‘Investigations of a Dog’ into Farsi and works as a cab driver, too. His passengers are similar to the characters of Kafka’s story.

Sajjad, Iman’s best friend, is very inhibited because of the way he looks and is trying to obtain enough money for surgery.

They both have dogs that look very similar to their owners. The dogs, not always welcomed by the families, make the men feel less lonely living in traditional Iranian society.

The cast list of the 83-minute drama includes Iman Sayyad-Borhani, Ali Baqeri, Sajjad Hamidian, Maryam Palizban, Masoumeh Beygi, and Soheila Golestani.

Born in 1984 in Ahvaz, Azizi started his film career in 2003 as an assistant director for a number of famous directors. He has made a few documentaries and short films. His debut feature film ‘Temporary’ (2015) was screened at many international festivals. ‘Two Dogs’ is his second feature film.

‘Two Dogs’ went on screen at some global events, including the Warsaw International Film Festival in Poland and the Bengaluru International Film Festival in India, where it won a special jury mention at the Asian film competition.
