Crimson Gold (2004) – J. Panahi

A day in the life of a pizza delivery driver in Tehran which gives us (and him) a glimpse of the serious social inequity in the culture. Despite his blank passivity, these class differences affect him deeply. The movie drifts humidly from situation to situation becoming increasingly surreal (at least in the way it must feel to the protagonist). And then we are back at the moment that started the film, only slightly more capable of understanding it.
