A Separation - Can an Eastern movie be made for Western people
I'm not in the mood to write anything right now, but I won't be able to write nothing else until Monday because I'm going to be camping.
A Separation is an Iranian movie from Asghar Farhadi, the same director from "The Salesman" and "About Elly". It's about a couple that is getting divorced, the ex-husband's father has Alzheimer, so he needs support to take care of his father while he works, the ex-wife finds a woman to be the caregiver and this results on serious accusations and a thrilling mystery.
The movie is slow, and the lack of soundtrack doesn't improve it. Therefore, the feature might not ideal for 50% of the public (that's the only flaw in the whole fim). However, it isn't monotone because there's always something to be shown. It's the typical well-written independent drama for the Western public. Actually, the whole movie is kind of a representation of the Iranian culture in two points of view, the view of a poor and traditional family and the view of the middle-upper class quite a bit more liberal.
The difference of it from other similar features is the subjective willingness that Farhadi has of making this film for the Western people in order to help them to understand the Iranian culture. Not that the film is a pretext for this, but it's really (maybe even unwillingly) pedagogical.
All the acting are fantastic, principally Peyman Moaadi's, who actually conviced me looking for both sides although is evident he was wrong and the four actresses, highlighting the small Hosseini (Somayeh), who doesn't even look like is acting, she seemd that was always playing on the set and making children stuff.
Thrilling and gripping as a Hitchcock classic with a cultural subtext, A Separation is the best Iranian movie of all time.
Goddammit, this review is a piece of shit, the worst I've ever written. Bye, 9.5/10
