TEHRAN (Reuters) - An award-winning Iranian comedy poking fun at the conservative clerics who run the Islamic Republic is breaking box-office records after narrowly squeezing past the country's zealous censors.
Cinemas screening "The Lizard" -- which follows the fortunes of a thief who escapes prison by donning the turban and robes of a Muslim cleric -- have sold out performances days in advance and added late-night slots to cope with the huge demand.
"It's unprecedented in Iran's cinema history," said Nasser Shabani, manager of the Fardis-e Barin film distribution company.
