- Watch the best selling film in the history of Iranian cinema. A true Block Buster movie.
Synopsis:
"Marmoolak" (The Lizard), a film by Iranian director Kamal Tabrizi about a convict who
escapes prison in the cloak and turban of a cleric and becomes an accidental mullah, was a
huge hit in Iran. Ticket lines snaked around theaters. People bought tickets days in advance,
breaking Iranian box-office records. Everyone, from schoolchildren to grandmothers,
talked about the film. All wondered, out loud, how such an open criticism of the clergy
could receive a screening permit from this theocratic regime. The film was banned in
Iran after only 3 weeks.
