Hull Independent Cinema... HOLY SPIDER Family man Saeed has embarked upon a religious quest – to cleanse the holy Iranian city of Mashhad of immoral and corrupt prostitutes. Journalist Rahimi is the first to spot that there is a connection between the women being found murdered, and defies uninterested colleagues and outright obstruction by the Police to investigate. Saeed’s frustration at a lack of public interest in his divine mission pushes him to increasingly desperate measures, and a showdown with the determined Rahimi. Starring Zar Amir-Ebrahimi, Mehdi Bajestani, Arash Ashtiani AWARDS & FESTIVALS Cannes Film Festival: Winner, Best Actress; Nominee, Palme d'Or REVIEWS "An intensely stylish and appropriately troubling film, with stomach-churning murders and a pacy first half that’s reminiscent of David Fincher’s Zodiac." Kevin Maher, The Times "It’s profoundly compelling, expertly made, and quite intentionally horrifying." ★★★★★ Tim Robey, The Telegraph "There’s a very nice visual play here with the juxtaposition of women and men... bringing the very physical reality of sexism to the fore." Fionnuala Halligan, Screen Daily RATING HOLY SPIDER is rated 18 by the British Board of Film Classification. For more info (which may contain spoilers), please follow this link Programme Details
