If you loved The Past, try The Salesman

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 both carry the foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Past, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Salesman is

Tehran. Night. A distant rumble. Stage actors Emad and Rana's lives warp when they're forced to relocate. An act of violence explodes their private world. Farhadi's moral intensity renders genre moot.
