Each week 'Wrocław Uncut' will be bringing you weekly previews of what's on at the cinema in English.
Movie Of The Week:
Dast-Neveshtehaa Nemisoosand
This week's featured movie is a foreign language release - Iran's Dast-Neveshtehaa Nemisoosand, which has had to make its cast anonymous to avoid the actors being punished by the Iranian government.
The film follows two Government agents, Morteza and Khosrow, who are given the task of finding a forbidden manuscript documenting the Iranian government's plan to murder 21 writers. To get to the bottom of the case, the pair stop at nothing and use any means necessary to extract the required information.

Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann
This week's other featured foreign language release is the Swedish comedy Hundraåringen som klev ut genom fönstret och försvann. The film grossed more than $20 million not long after opening in Sweden on Christmas Day of last year, and it is expected to do well in some European markets too. Based on the best selling book of the same name by Jonas Jonasson, this film will go down well with fans of European cinema and alternative comedy.
