Based on a true story - the life of Afshin Ghaffarian, an Iranian and his love for dance in a country that forbids it.
This trailer is as beautiful as it gets, and surprisingly so coming from a first-time feature-film director, Richard Raymond. Although, while watching the trailer, when it got to the middle my interest diminished very slightly due to the way the story progressed. This could spell trouble for the movie but maybe it's just me being overly anxious.
Starring Reece Ritchie as the titular character in what could be his breakout role. He previously had smaller roles in The Lovely Bones and last year's Hercules. Other notable names are the female cast, Nazanin Boniadi who guest-starred in TV series "Homeland" and "How I Met Your Mother" - one of the rare few women who managed to stole Barney Stintson's heart. She can also be seen in next year's Ben-Hur.
Another co-star is Freida Pinto who has become notable after her work in Slumdog Millionaire, and also starred in Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes and Immortals. She will next be seen in Terence Malick's Knight Of Cups.
Desert Dancer will be released in the US on 10 April 2015.
