Chop Shop

The latest film from Iranian-American filmmaker Ramin Bahrani (Man Push Cart) is a winner. A charming portrayal of lives in the fringes of the American Dream. The setting in Queens, NY looks more like a third world country than the United States.
Everything looks and sounds right in this film, including the amazing lead performance by Alejandro Polanco. YRCinema's coverage of AFI FEST 2007.

Chop Shop is sad, funny, and touching movie. I really enjoyed watching it.
