Strange Darling Streaming: When is it coming out online?
Fandango Film Sales has acquired all rights to Italy-based Iranian director Milad Tangshir’s debut feature “Anywhere Anytime,” ahead of the film’s release during Venice Critics’ Week and TIFF’s Centrepiece section.
A riff on Vittorio De Sica’s neorealist classic “Bicycle Thieves,” albeit in a contemporary setting, the film tells the story of Issa, a young Senegalese illegal immigrant living in Turin who—after being fired by his employer for fear of a police fine—takes a job as a food delivery boy, a job that provides him with a sense of security and freedom until his bike is stolen. “Issa then embarks on a desperate odyssey through the city streets to find his bike,” the provided synopsis reads.
Born in 1983 in Tehran, Tangshir released three albums with the Iranian rock band Ahoora before moving to Italy in 2011. Since then, he has produced and directed several short fiction films and documentaries, including the virtual reality documentary “VR Free,” which went to Venice and Sundance.
