In the real world, Tehran is about 6,100 miles from Winnipeg, Canada. However, in Matthew Rankin's kaleidoscopic vision, it's just a simple bus ride from Iran's capital to Quebec. Along the way, you might even stumble upon some money buried beneath the ice. Luckily, you're not a diplomat, as the consequences in the offbeat film "Universal Language" are anyone's guess.
Oscilloscope Laboratories has just released a new trailer for the film, which will premiere at Fantastic Fest from September 19th to 26th. Enjoy the quirky trailer, and stay tuned for more updates on Universal Language and Fantastic Fest 2024.
In a mysterious and surreal interzone somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg, the lives of various characters intertwine in surprising and enigmatic ways. Schoolgirls Negin and Nazgol discover a sum of money frozen in winter ice and attempt to claim it. Meanwhile, Massoud leads a group of increasingly bewildered tourists through Winnipeg's monuments and historic sites. Matthew quits his dead-end job in a Québecois government office and embarks on a cryptic journey to visit his mother. Space, time, and identities blur, overlap, and echo in this surreal comedy of misdirection.
