Well, well, what to say about a movie whose very title defies clarification.
As such, plot leading to any sort of resolution, exposition or explanation does not exist here. The ending is as pointless as its beginning in which, from afar, we see 'the actor' burying something in a remote location. From this desolate place he apparently makes his way on foot to New York City!
Having, it seems, absolutely no finances, the wannabe actor Joseph Kehir enrols in acting classes with the over-the-top tyrannical tutor Professor Payton, played with all the ferociousness she can muster by Australian Kaye Tuckerman.
The film title's character is played by Bijan Daryani, whom I presume is Iranian - his biog notes (the whole 10 or so words) state that he is known as 'the Prince of Persia' and that he is 5 ft 9 inches in height!
The lack of plot and disconnectedness of scenes may be due in part to Bijan taking on too many roles in the making of this pointless movie - he not only plays the lead role but serves as screenplay writer, producer, director, editor, production designer and set decorator.
I guess we should give credit for effort, hence my score of 2/10. Otherwise you will be stunned by the inanity of this movie's weaknesses, from lack of characterisation and banal script to its illogical title.
A real waste of time this one.
