Oscilloscope Laboratories is preparing a Blu-ray release of Matthew Rankin's Universal Language (2024), starring Matthew Rankin, Pirouz Nemati, and Amir Amiri. The release is scheduled to arrive on the market on November 18.
Description: In a mysterious and surreal interzone somewhere between Tehran and Winnipeg, the lives of multiple characters interweave with each other in surprising and mysterious ways. Gradeschoolers Negin and Nazgol find a sum of money frozen in the winter ice and try to claim it. Meanwhile, Massoud leads a group of increasingly-befuddled tourists through the monuments and historic sites of Winnipeg. Matthew quits his meaningless job in a Québecois government office and sets out upon an enigmatic journey to visit his mother. Space, time and personal identities crossfade, interweave and echo into a surreal comedy of misdirection.
