The Dryden will screen Bedoune Tarikh, Bedoune Emza (No Date, No Signature, Vahid Jalilvand, Iran 2017, 104 min., DCP, Persian w/subtitles).

The forensic pathologist Dr. Nariman (Amir Aghaee) has a car accident with a motorcyclist and injures the motorcyclist's 8-year-old son. Dr. Nariman offers to take the child to a clinic nearby, but the father refuses help and money. A few days later, in the hospital where he works, Dr. Nariman finds out that the little boy has been brought in for an autopsy after a suspicious death. Dr. Nariman is facing a dilemma: is he responsible for the child's death due to the car accident, or did the child die of food poisoning according to other doctors' diagnoses? Winner of the Orizzonti Award for Best Director and Best Actor at last year's Venice Film Festival, No Date, No Signature is a masterful, suspenseful examination of the questions of guilt and class, reminiscent of the finest works by Asghar Farhadi and Krzysztof Kieslowski.
