A Separation:

A Separation:


I have been many times recommended to watch the this Iranian movie A Separation by my dearest friend Shijoj Mathew since last one year, bus I could not able to complete his recommendation till yesterday and finally today I  watched this movie. A separation is written and directed by Asghar Farhadi and premiered on 9th Feb 2011. The Nader and Simin, the average class couple living with their 11 year daughter Termeh in Iran on verge of separation/divorce. They love each other inexplicably and adorably but  Simin and having exit visa with remaining 40 days wanted to leave Iran permanently for better future especially for their daughter however Nader wanted to stay in Iran to take of his father who suffers from Alzheimer disease and who requires close supervision. The arguments leaves Nader and Simin but one choice: Divorce. But the consequences of it were beyond their expectations.

There were set of other characters which played very critical role and  which may leads or may not catalyzed the separation and lies leads to truth finally. Its has been said and proved that its all written in destiny and know one can erase it. Nader and Simin were separated affectionately at the end with the thread of their daughter after 14 years of their successful marriage. It is the only love which separates the love. The characters of Nader and Simin were exceptionally well played by Payman Moaadi and Leila Hatami respectively. It has become tough to conclude who has performed exceptionally well. All the character had given their best and inextricably got homogenized with their role. The direction is very well appreciated. I guess one has to learn to  make movies with limited resources like  no big crew and no big budgets, and scores from this Iranian director. In India the commercial cinema trend leads to nowhere. Art movies are losing their shines in India. It might be the demand from the audience. But the class of art movies is still higher. And one has to serve this.

This is the first Iranian movies to won the Oscar Awards in year 2012 for category of Best Foreign language. The Director has also collected the Silver Peacock(Best Direction) award at International Film Festival of India(2011). What a wonderful direction. Must watch movie.

Kudos to Direction.
