The best film of 2017 is called Janbal and is from Iran and will probably be impossible to see for anyone. Sorry, I don't make the rules.

I love Frederik's tips. This one's not even on IMDb but there's some info here:

Hope it'll come further out. It's this absolutely amazing mix of local and trans-national - portraying beliefs on a small Iranian island, but influenced from all over the Persian gulf - + old and modern - mystic belief system portrayed on grainy digital. It does some of the same things as Eduardo Williams The Human Surge, which some of you might have seen a few weeks ago?
