A child’s death is a hard thing to face. The idea of a life cut so short is already painful enough, but when there’s a chance that it’s caused by something that you did, the guilt can be so overwhelming. This is what No Date, No Signature is all about. As coroner Dr. Kaveh Nariman recognizes a corpse as the boy he thought left unscathed after a small vehicular accident, he’s convinced that it’s totally his fault. Filmmaker Vahid Jalilvand effectively captures that anguish in undersaturated greys, capturing a conscientiousness that pushes Nariman to try to do good, but at the same time, ruin his own efforts doing so.
