Gael García Bernal as Maziar Bahari in a scene from Rosewater.
Having hosted late night television's satirical "The Daily Show" for 15 years, comedian Jon Stewart grew accustomed to a daily churn that he says "forgives sloppiness."
Now, he has crafted his first feature film in a more meticulous fashion, and hopes it will not be more permanent evidence of his own idiocy.
His directorial debut is the drama "Rosewater," the story of Tehran-born Canadian journalist Maziar Bahari, who was imprisoned and tortured in Iran at the hands of a man who smelled of rosewater. Stewart advocated for Bahari's release and then invited him to his nightly show.

Jagger, Hawking join big celebrity push to keep Scotland in the UK
Mick Jagger, frontman of British rock band The Rolling Stones, performs during a concert at the Tele2 arena in Stockholm July 1, 2014.
Singer Mick Jagger, actress Judi Dench and scientist Stephen Hawking are among 200 British stars who have signed a letter urging Scotland to remain part of the United Kingdom, six weeks before a historic referendum on independence.
The letter, an attempt to sway Scots before the September 18 vote, was organised by "Let's Stay Together", a group which says it aims to give a voice to the millions of Britons outside Scotland who don't have the right to vote.
Only Scots residents can take part in the referendum, meaning people who live in the three other constituent parts of the UK - England, Wales and Northern Ireland - don't have a say.
