| Summary |
Fresh from taking out the Grand Prix award at Cannes, widely celebrated two-time Academy Award winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi is back with a new complex morality tale that many are calling his best since the Oscar Winning A SEPARATION. But much like life itself, things don't go as planned. In what has become Farhadi house style, moral conundrums suddenly abound. One simple decision sees Rahim celebrated, but quickly people, including importantly his creditor, begin to question the humble prisoner's story. Tense, unpredictable and darkly funny, the drama that ensues is vintage Farhadi - all the way to the final scene. A frequent entry in many major outlet's 2021 Top 10 lists, the master auteur has once again made one of the most eagerly anticipated cinematic gems of the year. |
