The TVI Take
Asghar Farhadi's 2016 Iranian film anchored by Shahab Hosseini and Taraneh Alidoosti as an actor couple performing Death of a Salesman whose marriage is destabilized by a violent intruder. The structural commitment to letting Iranian-cultural-specific moral architecture be the actual subject — and the Cannes Best Actor and Best Screenplay wins — established Farhadi's most-canonical post-Separation work.
