A SEPARATION - Golden Globe Nominee January 11, 2012

A SEPARATION, 2011, 123 min. Dir. Asghar Farhadi. The dissolution of an upper-middle class marriage reveals sexual, class and religious fault lines in contemporary Iran when Simin (Leila Hatami) asks her husband Nader (Peyman Moaadi) to emigrate in search of better opportunities for their daughter. The man refuses, insisting that they stay with his invalid father, and the couple separate. When Nader hires Razieh to tend to his dad, the arrival of this poor, devout and pregnant woman in the household brings serious complications. In Persian with English subtitles.
