This bracingly modernist, puzzlelike film follows Carlos (Walmor Chagas), a middle-class auto-industry employee, as he questions his relationships with romantic partners past and present (played by Darlene Glória, Ana Esmeralda, and Eva Wilma), as well as his participation in the transforming economy.

The sole feature by trailblazing Ivorian filmmaker Timité Bassori stars the writer-director himself as a bourgeois intellectual whose life is thrown into turmoil after he experiences a disturbing vision of a mysterious, knife-wielding woman—the beginning of a crisis that forces him to confront his deep-seated sexual repression and social alienation. Capturing the streetscapes of 1960s Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, in New Wave–cool black and white, and set to a dreamy mix of American jazz and West African pop, this touchstone work of African cinema is a daring and complex journey into the postcolonial unconscious.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font6\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTHE STRANGER AND THE FOG\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font5\"\u003eForged in rhythm, ritual, and mysticism, this masterwork by Iranian New Wave legend Bahram Beyzaie is a transfixing allegory shot through with the fear of a mysterious, encroaching force. When a boat carrying a severely wounded man (Khosrow Shojazadeh) drifts onto the shore of a small coastal village, most of the community regards him with suspicion. But the quietly confident Rana (Parvaneh Massoumi), whose husband disappeared a year ago at sea, finds herself drawn to the outsider. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font6\"\u003eThe Stranger and the Fog, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"font5\"\u003ewhich was banned in Iran following the 1979 revolution, is a film of overwhelming power, possessing both the epic dimensions of myth and the hallucinatory atmosphere of a dream.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Criterion Collection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46368766853205,"sku":"CC3896BD","price":98.24,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3032\/6613\/files\/1341_WCP6_BD.jpg?v=1792084736","url":"https:\/\/cinemacellar.com\/products\/martin-scorseses-world-cinema-project-no-6-blu-ray","provider":"Cinema Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
