Event Description

Modern cinematography classics at Teatro Santa Ana in La Biblioteca every July Wednesday.

A separation | 2011 | Irán | Dur: 123 mins.
Director: Asghar Farhadi
With: Leila Hatami, Peyman Moaadi, Shahab Hosseini
In Persian with English subtitles
Programmer: Elías Nahmías

A masterful Iranian drama that begins with the seemingly simple decision of a couple to separate but unfolds into a complex exploration of class, gender, truth, and moral ambiguity.

Written and directed by Asghar Farhadi, the film offers a gripping portrait of modern Iranian society through a deeply human and emotionally charged story.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, A Separation is celebrated for its layered storytelling, nuanced performances, and ethical complexity.

It invites viewers into a web of conflicting perspectives, where every character is both right and wrong, and where the truth is as fragile as the relationships it threatens to destroy.

Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Amy Cotler.
