A Separation (جدایی نادر از سیمین - Jodâyi-e Nâder az Simin) (2011)

“Hearing how highly regarded A Separation was among my IMDb friends, I knew I had to see it. My only question is how on earth did it take so long for me to do so? I can only put it down to being behind with my film watching because of uni, because A Separation is a fantastic film and deserves all ounces of praise it gets and some. That is my opinion though, because I know people will find that it is not their cup of tea and have no problem with that. What was it I loved about A Separation? A lot of things actually.

A Separation

“From the opening minutes of A Separation we are thrown into the deep end of the film’s emotionally bruising and complicated morass. The simplest of domestic squabbles can so easily spin out into messy situations that grow exponentially and drag in surrounding players. What starts as a simple impasse between a married couple soon involves a lower-class family and a thorny legal battle.   But how do we get there? That’s the pleasure and engaging emotional tournament that A Separation pulls us through. It is a masterpiece of taking the old adage of the “frog in the slowly boiling pot” and applies it to the narrative and character journeys.   Simin (Leila Hatami) and Nader (Peyman Moaadi) are a married couple at a roadblock in their relationship.
