A Separation | Official Trailer HD (2011)

Set in contemporary Iran, A SEPARATION is a compelling drama about the dissolution of a marriage. Simin wants to leave Iran with her husband Nader and daughter Termeh. Simin sues for divorce when Nader refuses to leave behind his Alzheimer-suffering father. Her request having failed, Simin returns to her parents' home, but Termeh decides to stay with Nader.

When Nader hires a young woman to assist with his father in his wife's absence, he hopes that his life will return to a normal state. However, when he discovers that the new maid has been lying to him, he realizes that there is more on the line than just his marriage.

One of the best and most Intense films I've ever seen. The gentleman playing the lead role deserved an Oscar for best actor. Nobody that year even came close to him. At times I felt I was watching a documentary rather than a piece of fiction. Respect and love to the people of Iran and wishing them a safe and prosperous future. Greetings from India.

Let movies like this be a lesson to the world: art knows many cultures. But it knows no borders.

"children of heaven, the color of paradise, about elly " 3 Iranian movies that you will never forget for the rest of your life...trust me

[arvindchander]

Easily the best movie ever created. It shows just how morally complex people are and how misunderstandings are root causes of all problems. In real life, problems do not stem from one singular event nor from one individual. There's fair share of blame that can go around and ultimately everyone has in some manner contributed to that particular problem.

I watched the whole movie on Apple TV the other day, and must say that I was blown away by the professionalism of the actors, from the smallest child all the way to the old man inflicted with Alzheimer’s. The intensity with which they portrayed the story is mind-boggling and makes this motion picture truly a masterpiece of the modern-day cinema.

[jblin]

Absolutely amazing film! I love Iranian movies, greetings from India!

[Falcon_Kashmir]

This is called artistry... No bullcrap no big shot extra terrestrial philosophies.... Just pure art

[se]

they don't translate this probably. they cut down what they actually say. Like at the start she says "no he's not a drug addict, there's nothing wrong with him, he's good and healthy" but they translated to "he's decent good person"

[zberry]

I cannot believe I waited all this time to watch this amazing movie. it is truly a masterpiece and a must watch! it's a simple story with such complexities and really reflects on the reality of people, no one is purely good or evil. we all have our vices and qualities of purity and redemption.

My beautiful Iran, land of culture, art and beauty. I miss you. May you always be glorious and prosperous.

"Calling it a masterpiece is too mild a compliment." I couldn't agree more.

[Thisworldisagoner]

I can watch this movie hundreds of times without losing the anxiety I had the first time when I watched it

[Tshiunghan]

The name of the first song is "An Early Memory" by Michael Montes. The second song is "Journey" by the same guy.

Had to ask the composer over Twitter to work it out!

[aaaa-mlwd]

Great movie ! I really like Iranian movies , love from Saudi Arabia to Iran ❤️

[weapons]

Beyond its powerful didactism force about the Iranian society ( which I wasn't fully aware before watching it), this film is a masterpiece as it manages to tell a lot about what makes human so complex: pride, power, guilt, legacy, superstition. Another great film that makes you think about life in general.

[mudkak]

This movie is a sheer class...from acting to direction...this is a masterpiece...hats of....

[alexei]

This has been my most favorite film of the 2010s by far. I have watched it multiple times. Really fascinated with everything in the film as well as in Iran. The Persian language sounds especially melodic to me.

Aside from all the plaudits everybody in the comments have already given, I'm surprised not much is said about the daughter's (Sarina Farhadi) role. Her performance is simply amazing and you really empathize with her because of how horrible this is for her as much as for her parents.
