A SEPARATION

“Tense and narratively complex, formally dense and morally challenging, Iranian helmer-writer Asghar Farhadi's impressive drama Nader and Simin, A Separation is his strongest work yet. The provocative plot casts a revealing light on contempo Iranian society, taking on issues of gender, class, justice and honor as a secular middle-class family in the midst of upheaval winds up in conflict with an impoverished religious one.” Alissa Simon, Variety. A married couple must decide whether to improve their child’s life by moving to another country or whether to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent with Alzheimer’s disease.
