Killing the Eunuch Khan

Killing the Eunuch Khan (2021)

Koshtan-e khajeh

The serial killer uses the victims to kill victims.

Thrown back into a dusty 1980s and the height of the Iran/Iraq war, the film is a meditation on the cycles of violence and war and their infectious qualities. Clean, architectural sets are washed over by rivers of blood, as historical grievances are played back like excerpts from a documentary.
