A Man of Integrity

A goldfish farmer finds himself pitted against a mysterious, corrupt network in Mohammad Rasoulof's Cannes Un Certain Regard Prize-winner.

"Reza has left the city to live a simple life in a remote village, where he breeds goldfish. When a local monopoly tries to buy his farm, Reza resists and finds himself battling The Company, a secretive network that appears to control every aspect of the village. As matters escalate, everyone tells Reza to pay a few bribes to ease his troubles but he stubbornly refuses. Building to a thrilling climax, A Man of Integrity is an intelligent, provocative film by a brave, uncompromising and extremely skilful filmmaker.

"Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof (Iron Island, The White Meadows) is formally banned from making films in his homeland. Like Jafar Panahi, he continues to make films in secret, and his new work is a moving and powerful indictment of authoritarian societies." (Sydney Film Festival)
