A claustrophobic thriller filmed secretly in Iran tops the DVD releases for the week of May 6.

"The Seed of the Sacred Fig": Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof's latest movie, for which he was exiled, centers on a family in which the father is a judge who's gun goes missing amid protests following a woman's death in police custody, with tensions spilling over everywhere, including into individual homes.

"This is urgent, gripping, intense filmmaking, its themes universal while playing to the hyperspecific," writes critic Adam Graham of the Detroit News in his review. "This is one conflict in particular, but it could stretch to any unrest, large or small, which rips people apart."
