Poulet aux prunes (Tribute to Marjane Satrapi)

Show & Culture

Nasser Ali is an Iranian musician who, after the destruction of his violin, loses the will to live and shuts himself away in his memories, regrets, and missed loves. The film blends realism and poetic stylization to explore how memory and desire can become places of refuge as well as pain. "From this rather bitter fate is born an enchanting, picturesque, and dazzling tale, mixing satire and melodrama, nostalgia and mockery. This 'Poulet aux prunes' is a treat." (Figaroscope)
