| Mohammad Rasoulof's ambitious and critically acclaimed film, about an abandoned oil tanker that houses homeless squatters from Iran's Sunni-Arab minority, is both a wistful drama and a clever allegory about the politics of survival in the Middle East. The titular Iron Island is a floating scrap heap where residents scavenge for cash under the watchful eye of Captain Nemat (Ali Nasirian), a well-meaning but authoritarian leader whose perch is threatened by a brash up-and-comer (Hossein Farzi-Zadeh). "[One of] the best movies to come out of Iran in years" (Christian Science Monitor). In Persian with English subtitles.
