Well Directed, Well Acted and Well Played
24 June 2013 | by (Iran) – See all my reviews

Well ,Today I find time to watch latest Mr.Farhadi's movie , The past of course in my homeland , Iran and I should admit that I've never expected to premiere this film in Iran

Compare to his last masterpiece ,Seperation, this movie lacks the pace. Its a bit long and sometimes you get bored but stills you can find many artistic Sequences that shows how good Mr.Farhadi directing is! The whole story divided into three chapters and they are all intertwined so there is no exact borderline between chapters but the three main characters Mosaffa,Bejo and Rahim all have their parts but after an Hour ,Mosaffa character fades away and story relies on the rest of the characters

Music is good.Cinematography is also great and it shows exactly how boring and dull can Paris be !! For sure Bérénice Bejo steals the show by her performance .Its a kind of performance that you expect from a actress whom won The Cannes award for best acting .

By this movie Asghar Farhadi showed how good he is and why won the Oscar and also destined to become one of emerging directors that all the actors want to work with him .
