saw “a separation” last weekend. it’s most excellent. i like how kenneth turan describes it as an amalgam of hitchcock and bergman. for those more familiar with iranian cinema there is no need for western indexing (however accurate it might be) – it’s iranian cinema at its best. it’s intelligent, nuanced, real. the exploration of the cultural chasm between different socio-economic classes and how it plays out in their interactions is particularly brilliant in this film. don’t miss it.
