Director: Mostafa Sayyari. Cast: Majid Aghakarimi, Nader Fallah, Elham Korda, Vahid Rad, Mohammad Rabbani. Screenplay: Mostafa Sayyari, Behnam Abedi, and Hamed Hosseini Sangari (clearly based, however disobediently, on the novel by William Faulkner). Twitter Capsule:
Carries Faulkner's legacy into unusual terrain, even/especially by Iran's standards. Style less distinct than story.

Interesting update and transplant of this archetypal tale. Incendiary secrets in the characters' past. Memory doesn't really last, though?
