Actors: Peyman Moadi, Leila Hatami
Director: Ashgar Farhadi
There are films where the individual pieces fit together to form a much greater whole, and films where the whole spills out all over the pieces - the pieces don't form a whole. I was going to call this film Cassevetes In Iran, but that's doing this film a disservice - Cassavetes films are spilling films, they might end up somewhere or nowhere at all. This one knows what it's doing at all times, and it's all here - class, culture, love, family, and ultimately what we value highest. Confident direction also helps what could be a visually uninteresting film.
