Rocky Flix - Screening of 'Universal Language' (2024, film)

Rocky Flix offer a great night out in the historic Walter Reid Cultural Centre - bar opens 6.15pm, film screen 7pm - stay for the complimentary supper and community connection after the film. All welcome!

The film is set in an alternate reality in which Persian, rather than English, is the dominant language of Canada, although it remains in coexistence with French.

Described as a "surreal comedy of disorientation" set "somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg", the film blends the initially unrelated, but gradually converging, stories of Negin (Rojina Esmaeili) and Nazgol (Saba Vahedyousefi), who find money frozen in ice and try to claim it; Massoud (Pirouz Nemati), a tour guide in Winnipeg who is leading a confused and disoriented tour group; and Matthew (Rankin), who quits his unfulfilling job with the government of Quebec and travels home to Winnipeg to visit his mother.
