The new film by Mani Haghighi has been around the festival circuit for about eighteen months now but has finally emerged into the mainstream.
It has a fascinating premise - two couples in Tehran are identical in appearance, a doppelganger couple. When they run into one another, the movie develops into a thriller. You might describe Mani Haghighi as a Tarantino-type director in the sense that his movies always provide the unexpected - particularly so in a movie industry that is often shackled to social realism. His earlier works include The Pig (2018) in which a serial killer targets film directors and Modest Reception (2012) in which a wealthy couple drive through the mountains offering bags of money to poor villagers if they will carry out one provocative task for them.
