Transcending cultural and religious barriers to present a fascinating portrait of contemporary Iran, A Separation is a maze of narrative intrigue and complex emotion in which everyone is both innocent… Show more and guilty, depending on where you re standing. On the surface, it s a compelling drama about the dissolution of a marriage: Simin wants to leave Iran with her husband Nader and daughter Termeh. Simin sues for divorce when Nader refuses to leave behind his Alzheimer-suffering father. As the family is drawn into an unprecedented feud, director Asghar Farhadi continues his devilishly clever turning of narrative tables, selectively revealing new details and forcing the viewer to continuously reassess each character.
