Film About a Pudding

The city’s commuters are too self-absorbed to have noticed that they are about to be engulfed by a giant pudding. How can something seemingly so delicious be so sinister? It seems that everybody thought someone else would do something about it, until it was too late. Surrealist scenes of domestic life that are disorienting and compelling. Produced at the Documentary & Experimental Film Center in Tehran, emerging director Mahboobeh Kalaee has mixed animated objects with hand painted illustrations and filmed them using a roving camera. An innovative method that brilliantly blurs the lines between fiction and reality.
