The TVI Take
Asghar Farhadi's 2021 Cannes Grand Prix-winning film about an Iranian prisoner on a two-day leave from debt-imprisonment whose attempt to repay his creditor by finding and returning a lost bag of gold coins escalates into a media-sensational moral catastrophe. The structural commitment to letting the social-media-amplification dynamics be rendered with documentary specificity is rare Iranian cinema.
