LOCATION: HQ 107, 320 York Street
Marmulak (The Lizard)
Directed by Kamal Tabrizi
(Iran, 2004)
In Persian with English subtitles
Critically acclaimed as one of the favorite Iranian films, Marmulak (The Lizard) touched a nerve like no Iranian film had done before. Marmulak is a compelling tale of a thief, who in his quest to escape from prison, discovers that it is the actions of a man that are important and not his garb, and that even a thief can inspire people to do good for their fellow man.
