Insight and Realism through the Lens of Film

Asghar Farhadi, last year’s Best Foreign Language Film Academy Award winner for the excellent “The Salesman”, won his first Oscar (and, may we add, the Golden Bear as well) back in 2011 with this wonderfully complex and multilayered social drama, a portrait of a family’s disolution and the ramifications of class conflicts. Nader (Peyman Moaadi) and Simin (Leila Hatami) are in the middle of getting divorced. They have a daughter, Termeh (Sarina Farhadi), who seems to play a key role in the outcome of her parents’ divorce. Nader’s father (Ali-Asghar Shahbazi) suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, so Nader hires Razieh (Sareh Bayat) to take care of him while he is at work.

In A Seperation versucht jeder der Charaktere sein Leben zu leben innerhalb der Grenzen von Staat und Religion. Es ist ein persischer Film und wir lernen ganz nebenbei eine Menge über ein System, in dem der Staat die Religion vertritt.

Daniel Corleone - wrote on 09/20/2012
One of the best films produced in 2011 because of its flawless acting/direction. Human frailties at its finest. Nader (Peyman Moaadi) and Simin (Leila Hatami) have been married for 14 years and live with their 11-year-old daughter Termeh (Sarina Farhadi). Razieh (Sareh Bayat) was hired to look over Nader's father who has Alzheimer's disease. Things eventually go wrong when Nader discovers his father's arm being tied-up while Razieh was away. Screenplay was effective with lines from the characters: Nader - "What is wrong is wrong, no matter who said it or where it's written." "'Cause every time you face a trouble, you give in. Rather than confront it. " and Hodjat - "ou know, my problem is that I can't speak like them. I just lose my control soon." A realistic picture about lies, …
