Event Description
A Separation (2011) Iran | Drama / Family / Legal Thriller
Director: Asghar Farhadi With: Leila Hatami, Peym an Moaadi, Sareh Bayat
Duration: 2:03 hrs.
In Persian with English subtitles
Programmer: Elías Nahmías
Winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, *A Separation* is a searing portrait of a family unraveling under the pressu re of personal, moral, and social forces. When Simin seeks a divorce from her husband Nader in order to leave Iran with their daughter, a cascade of events is set into motion --; entangling their lives with that of a working - class caregiver and her deeply reli gious husband. Asghar Farhadi crafts an emotionally complex, morally ambiguous narrative in which every character has valid motives --; and devastating consequences. Through meticulous storytelling and quietly intense performances, the film explores themes of class, gender, truth, and justice within the confines of everyday life. A Separation is a profound human drama and an extraordinary example of how private decisions can echo through a larger cultural and legal context. A film that refuses easy answers, it demands empathy from all sides.
Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Kayla Fine.
