The film is based on a true story that would be funny it it wasn't true. Bahari (Gael García Bernal) is a News Week journalist (I'm sorry.) He is a native of Iran reporting on the election in 2009. He does a gag interview Jason Jones (Jason Jones) for "The Daily Show" where Jason claims to be a spy for the US. Iran uses this to arrest Bahari.
Most of the film is Bahari in his jail cell. Sometimes he is by himself, sometimes he is being questioned, and at other times he is having an imaginary conversation with his father, a one time guest of the same prison. Amazingly, it was enough to keep me interested.
This is a debut film writing and directing for Jon Stewart of the same "Daily Show." Jon has recently announced his retirement from said show and hopefully he will present us with more hard hitting political gems such as "Rosewater."
