A Separation

A powerful tale of a middle-class marriage in crisis, and winner of the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.

Academy Award winner and recipient of the Berlin Film Festival's Golden Bear, Asghar Farhadi's tough, powerful tale of the breakdown of a middle-class marriage charts the dire consequences of a fierce argument that develops between the husband and a young working-class woman hired by the wife to look after his elderly, ailing father. Working from a brilliant script packed with ambiguities and ironies, the cast brings great subtlety and depth to Farhadi's astute study of self-serving hypocrisy and deceit.
