017 - Asghar Farhadi

Published: Feb. 14, 2020, 10:30 a.m.

This week, its our most international episode yet with two films by Iranian director Asghar Farhadi: the Tehran-set A Separation, a twisty domestic drama, and the Spain-set Everybody Knows, a soapy thriller with haunted, complicated familial pasts. Come for the comparisons of how Farhadi uses his long-term thematic concerns in different cultural settings, stay for the moment when Greta realizes on-mic that Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz are married!

Join us next week for 12 Years a Slave (2013) and Queen of Katwe (2016).\xa0
