291. A separation (2011)

Country: Iran Directed by Ashgar Farhadi While most of critics got very impressed with the way that the director blends so effortlessly all the social-economical issues of modern Iran to the plot, things related with the law,the religion,the position of the women,the unequality etc, what rather engages farther and deeply the viewer, at the point that he watches the whole film glued to his seat with his heart racing, is the universality of the human condition that the movie exposes, the accuracy of the feelings of people who aim for the happiness with good intentions and genuine emotions to get lost finally in the complicity of comflicted interests, social norms, ethical dilemmas and different points of view. Even if you really intent to do the right thing and everyone arounds you does the same (a rare, ideal condition) life still seems absurd and painful and this realization is devastating. Not enough words to praise this film: its a masterpiece at any aspect
