A SEPARATION

A Separation

Directed by Asghar Farhadi

Set in contemporary Iran, this compelling drama is about the dissolution of a marriage. Morally complex, suspenseful and consistently involving, A Separation captures the messiness of a dissolving relationship with keen insight and searing intensity.
