MANUSCRIPTS DON'T BURN

Based on events around the real-life series of “chain murders” that targeted Iranian intellectuals between 1988 and 1998, Rasoulof’s disturbing, unflinching psychodrama trails two remorseless assassins, foot soldiers of repression, as they go about their bloody rounds. “Easily the most daring and politically provocative film yet to emerge from Iran.”—Rogerebert.com
