Cohen Media Group has acquired North American rights to the Holocaust drama “Persian Lessons,” following its world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival, where it has become a buzz title…
10 Producers to WatchCMG plans to release the film in late 2020. “Persian Lessons” is directed by “House of Sand and Fog” director from a script by Ilya Zofin, based on the story “Erfindung Einer Sprache” by Wolfgang Kohlhaase.
Nahuel Pérez Biscayart plays a Belgian Jew who claims to be Persian when he is rounded up and about to face the firing squad. The terrified prisoner desperately tries to save himself by agreeing to teach Farsi – a language he does not know and thus makes up – to an eager-to-learn Nazi transit camp commandant, portrayed by Lars Eidinger “Clouds of Sils Maria”).
The acquisition was negotiated by John Kochman of CMG and Mathieu Delaunay, head of sales for Paris-based Memento Film Intl.
