Hmm, 1.5 hours of a guy driving around in Iran trying to find someone to help him with his suicide.  Not as boring as it sounds, actually.  Probably not something to rent for family night, but it is an interesting portrayal of a man in despair, and without all the usual hollywood histrionics.

Thanks for recommendation Tyson, I liked this one.  Well, the extra "ending" behind the scenes bit was needlessly confusing.  Although I suppose it fits in with the director's idea that he doesn't like to be held captive by a movie.  I wish it would have stayed in real time for the whole thing.  That hard cut where he's sitting outside and the guy is trying to shoo him away is really odd.  But the whole thing is really odd, especially for a foreign audience I'd imagine.  But that's why it's cool.  Rent this and socially ostracize yourself from your friends and family! Heh!
