ABOUT ABOUT

From Oscar-winning Iranian director Asghar Farhadi (A SEPARATION), his new film is nominated for a 2017 Best Foreign Language Oscar! Set against the backdrop of an amateur production of 'Death of a Salesman' in Tehran, a husband and wife struggle with dramatic changes in their lives linked to the former occupant of their apartment. "You’ll feel the spirit of Arthur Miller, one of the great dramatists of the 20th century, reaching across the transom to touch one of the great dramatists of the 21st." - Entertainment Weekly

"A dazzling, darkly funny, quietly devastating human drama...throws audiences into the thick of things and leaves us to parse its meaning. It's a compliment Hollywood films rarely afford us." - Rolling Stone

"Farhadi remains a master of pace and tension, slowly upping the stakes in an unsettling narrative fuelled by a lingering sense of powerlessness, paranoia and the possibility that you never entirely know the person you love." - Screen Daily

After their old flat becomes damaged, Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti), a young couple living in Tehran, are forced to move into a new apartment. Eventually, an incident linked to the previous tenant of their new home dramatically changes the couple’s life, while they continue their performances in an amateur production of the play "Death of a Salesman." Not rated, 125 mins.
