About Death Carnival
Following a serial murder case in Tehran, Major Hosseini, an experienced police detective is assigned to solve it. After he starts his investigations, he finds several clues. Following several quarrels, he also finds out that the murderer must be someone rather sick and smart. He seems so determined to put an end to these murders and he must lead the way on his own.
Directed by Habibollah Kasehsaz, Death Carnival leans on a strong ensemble — Faramarz Gharibian, Elnaz Shakerdoost, Bahram Radan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2008.
