Rustic, homely, poorly elaborated but Iranian cinema as a powerful tool to criticize a country, a class society indirectly divided through politics, finance and religion.

Review of A Separation 2011: A mirror condemning a nation

The films are made by directors with novel cinematic thinking, perhaps because the complicated situation of Iran itself has more or less affected an already existing artistic perspective, one of the wallets. such as Taxi and This Is Not a Film by Jafar Panahi, Homework by Abbas Kiarostami and one of the masterpieces that made me shudder, that is Une Séparation of Asghar Farhadi.

Overcoming many huge-budget films, magnificent techniques, A Separation or Une Séparation directed by Asghar Farhadi, won the Best Foreign Language Film Award at the Oscars in 2012, the Bear Award. Golden at the Berlin Film Festival.

At the beginning of the film is a divorce between Simin and Nader, when Nader refuses to agree with Simin to live abroad with the purpose of building a more civilized, more modern, freer life in the whole society. and human thought.

When his wife moved to their parents' house to divorce, so they separated, Nader was forced to hire Razieh, a maid to manage the house and help him take care of his father, an elderly man. Alzheimer's disease * (* dementia).

But due to misunderstandings, Nader chased Razieh away, causing her to miscarry the second child she was carrying. When the Razieh couple filed a lawsuit, Nader denied that he knew she was pregnant, if he knew he would not do so, and Simin, after hearing the story, decided to pay some money to the Razieh family. to plaintiffs dump.

But Razieh didn't dare to swear on the Qur’an in the end because she knew she had a miscarriage because of a car accident, and Nader himself knew from the beginning that Razieh was pregnant.

The film The Separation brings a slap to Iranian society, when an individual is always chasing a separate version of the truth because they have been cornered, they are hopeless about marriage, about money and they did immoral with the will to capture the miracle that can change lives and so each person, each family, fell down the cliff of destruction.

A film that exploits the richness of the human inner, a mirror of the society but is smashed by harsh censorship because they dare not face the film depicting the truth in a country that carries many contradictions make us not forget the contrast of two women when Simin always tied haste scarves, ran proficiently, and Razieh was always black from head to toe, taking a bus 90 minutes to get to At work, you have to call the religious counseling center about how you're afraid of being guilty of changing an old diaper, always wearing gloves and trying not to touch a man, we can't forget your tears. his daughter Nader when she secretly realized that her father knew Razieh was pregnant.

When she was helplessly trying to make her family happy and the eyes of her little daughter Razieh were always full of hatred and fear for outsiders.

The film "Split" brings a society covered with a layer of religion, morality and values that distort people, the gap between poverty and education, even children rarely savor a bud. Laugh, a next generation does not inherit happiness.

Nextphim was surprised that the actors were able to act up to the point where I thought this was a documentary, when the tearing facial expressions and inner emotions were all excelled, and thanks to that breakthrough, an unprecedented award at the Berlin Film Festival is to award the Silver Bear to the film's main actors.

The petty life has created a deep and humane theme, pushing viewers to the extreme of the tension when the director uses a télé lens, allowing us to fill the frame with the subject and create a blur effect. in the background at a smooth level to increase drama.

The movie Split not only talks about a breakup, but also through the separation we can see the class division when the educated, financially stable, collectively known as the middle class always have the will to rise. , toward advanced civilization, in a place other than Iran, while ordinary families are religious, believe in traditional values, adhere to morality and religion.

A Separation is a film that does not distort the mirror to reflect the truth, does not color the life, one of the movies that makes me see the patience and perseverance of Iranian filmmakers when they always want to change the land. water but the result is always rejected.
