Shakespearean scope of conflict and passion abound in this bold, gripping, and mesmerizing chamber drama from Iran, attesting that Iranian film is one of the world's foremost national cinemas.

Master director John Boorman (Excalibur, Deliverance, Hope and Glory) beautifully portrays the early 1950s with the warm glow of personal memories from his youth, as he did with WWII in Hope and Glory. His latest follows 18-year-old Bill Rohan (Callum Turner), as he is called up for National Service in the British Army. But, instead of being shipped off to Korea, Bill finds himself in a desk job. This could be considered "cushy", but not while working under a regulation-fixated Sergeant Major (the captivating David Thewlis) whose love for rules seems more masochistic than efficient.
