Summary
Based on the novel by Andrew Dalzell, 'House of Sand and Fog' (2003) is a gripping drama directed by Vadim Perelman. Set in San Francisco, the film explores themes of immigration, mental illness, desperation, and the destructive power of obsession. It revolves around two protagonists whose lives intertwine through a shared tragedy: Kathy Nicolo, a troubled woman struggling with depression and addiction, and Behrani, an Iranian immigrant seeking a better life for his family. The film was nominated for multiple awards, including an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress (Shohreh Aghdashloo). While the plot is centered around a property dispute, it delves into deeper issues of identity, loss, and resilience.
