Before Summer Ends (2017)
Directed by Goormaghtigh
Director Maryam Goormaghtigh weaves a most beguiling blend of fiction and non-fiction in this semi-documentary feature about a trio of Iranian expat bros who take a road trip through the shimmering French countryside before one of their own returns to Iran. The expected riffs on male obsessions — women, partying, women — come finer-edged with melancholy, regret and loneliness as the friends also reflect on their lives in self-imposed exile.
Director: Maryam Goormaghtigh. Cast: Arash, Ashkan, Hossein
DCP, color, 102 min.
FREE admission for all UCLA students with valid I.D.
