FNC – Le meurtre de l’eunuque Khan

Nouveaux Alchimistes

As the war rages on, a father leaves his two young daughters at home to attend a funeral. While he’s away, a bomb lands in their garden, leaving an immense crater that gradually fills with the blood of the victims of the interminable conflict. Unclassifiable and disconcerting, this Iranian feature mixes meticulous, Kubrick-style staging with the surreal nightmares of Jodorowsky to produce a stripped-down, atmospheric narrative with staggeringly virtuosic visuals. A mind-blowing experience on celluloid that puts human suffering and the horrors of war on a whole new plane.
