UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE
Coming soon to the Hyland!
In a mysterious and surreal interzone somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg, the lives of multiple characters interweave with each other in surprising and mysterious ways. Gradeschoolers Negin and Nazgol find a sum of money frozen in the winter ice and try to claim it. Meanwhile, Massoud leads a group of increasingly-befuddled tourists through the monuments and historic sites of Winnipeg. Matthew quits his meaningless job in a Québecois government office and sets out upon an enigmatic journey to visit his mother. Space, time and personal identities crossfade, interweave and echo into a surreal comedy of misdirection.
Universal Language Reviews:
Universal Language...explores humanity’s interdependence—how, despite the horrors of life, we are all connected—how cinema brings us all together in profound, unexpected ways. And he does so in such a fanciful, fantastical and delightful manner. | Frank J. Avella - Rotten Tomatoes
Universal Language is a perfect film about the power of connection, surreal and abstract at times but extraordinarily likeable. | Daniel Allen - Rotten Tomatoes
