Canadian Movie Night: Une Langue Universelle, 6pm


🗓 Date: Thursday, March 27th, 2025

"An Oscar-Worthy Delight" —COLLIDER
"A magnificent film, one that feels warm and familiar even as we realize just how startlingly original it is." —VULTURE
"Formally precise and very funny" —FILMMAKER MAGAZINE
"...full of memorable images..." —THE FILM STAGE


Synopsis:

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 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 enigmat journey to visit his mother. Space, time and personal identities crossfade, interweave and echo into a surreal comedy of misdirection.
