SHAHAB HOSSEINI
Written by Mitra Tabrizian & Cyrus Massoudi
Produced by Zadoc Nava
Directed by Mitra Tabrizian
GHOLAM is the haunting, critically acclaimed, debut feature from Mitra Tabrizian – the story of an Iranian cab driver in London caught between two worlds that moves almost inexorably from observational drama to eerie quasi-thriller.
Shahab Hosseini, who proved so magnetic in Asghar Farhadi’s 2017 Oscar-winner The Salesman, delivers a mesmerising performance as Tabrizian’s elliptical, diasporic drama unfolds mysteriously around him.
