HOLY SPIDER (Jordânia, 2022) - Uma jornalista investiga o submundo da cidade sagrada iraniana Mashad, em busca de um serial killer de prostitutas. Conhecido como Spider Killer, o assassino acredita estar numa missão espiritual de limpar as ruas do pecado. Holy Spider combines everything I love about film; glimpses of the underground, a distant and diverse land, an underdog protagonist, well-written dialogue, stylish photography and costumes, a fantastic and unconventional story based on a graphic novel, and chilling, hypnotic music. The language of Holy Spider is Persian and it was shot in Jordan. Director Ali Abbasi is Iran-born and Denmark-based. MUBI.
