A Separation
I saw this film on 11 July at Stratford Picture House
This is a superb film, set in Iran. Although there is no extremism, fundamentalism or brutality shown on a day-to-day level, the effects of religous belief and dogma are always present and eventually have a decisive effect. It's a very-low key story about some ordinary people and how an unfortunate accidental occurence escalates. The good are trying to do what they think is right and the bad are taking advantage. Both are placed in almost impossible domestic and ethical situations.
