Followed by Q&A with filmmaker Shahram Mokri, moderated by film critic Godfrey Cheshire
One of the most dazzling and enigmatic films in recent memory, Iranian director Shahram Mokri's mind-bending mystery was inspired by a real-life tragedy, the infamous Cinema Rex fire in 1978 that triggered the Iranian Revolution. CARELESS CRIME follows three "timelines" — of arsonists planning to burn down a movie theater; of workers and students at the cinema; and of characters within the film screening at the cinema — which may or may not all be happening at the same time. Comparisons abound, from the work of Chris Marker (LA JETÉE) to Hitchcock's VERTIGO and Wojciech Has' THE SARAGOSSA MANUSCRIPT, but Mokri's film is a magnificent, multi-faceted puzzle box all its own.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
