If you loved About Elly, try A Separation
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Asghar Farhadi, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to About Elly, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Separation is
Tehran, autumn, a door ajar. A husband and wife stand frozen, suitcases packed, a child's future hanging, an ailing father's needs unmet. Farhadi grounds this family's dilemma in the mundane details of their fractured life.
