Three Short Films by Ramin Bahrani

Contemporary American cinema’s foremost neorealist, Ramin Bahrani gave aching but lyrical expression to the experiences of outsiders and immigrants living on the margins of the American Dream in his acclaimed breakthrough features Man Push Cart and Chop Shop . This selection of shorts by Bahrani—including the wrenching family tragedy Blood Kin and the poignant ecological love story Plastic Bag (narrated by Werner Herzog)—display the unwavering humanism and eye for images of everyday poetry that have made Bahrani such a vital cinematic voice.
