"Crimson Gold"
http://www.thisishappening.com/EventPage.php?curObj=8807&show=profile 

Winner of the Prix d'un Certain Regard at Cannes. Based on actual 
events and written by acclaimed director Abbas Kiarostami, this subversive 
drama opens with a jewelry store heist that goes from bad to worse, then 
backtracks to just before the botched job. We travel around Tehran with 
a pizza-delivery man and his brother-in-law, witnessing examples of a 
repressive regime, as they draw each other into stealing and eventually 
the heist.
