A new addition to the list of Cinematic milestones

Nader and Simin are a couple married for 14 years. But there is a problem. Simin insists on moving abroad but Nader cannot as his father has Alzheimer's syndrome. Thus Simin decides to separate from him and take her 11 year old daughter with her. Nader refuses the divorce and plainly ignores the problem as he knew she would never leave. But then one thing leads to another and gap begins to widen. Will they Separate? Well, last year, This small Iranian film took the world by storm. You might have heard a lot about it. It won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language and was nominated in the Original Screenplay Category. This film... Wow! A Separation completely won my heart for it's brilliance but at the same time broke it because of what it depicted. Rarely does any movie comes closer to perfection. The film is rich culturally, visually and in character development. It's a great Dramatic Thriller that grips you straight by the collar and that too from the very first dialog!! The first scene takes place in the Courtroom where Nader and Simin are arguing on the matter of divorce. The entire first scene is shot without a single break continuously for 3 to 4 minutes! Now that's such a difficult task but the directed pulled it off. And after we are gripped completely by the movie, it delivers the most intense, thrilling and realistic experience you might not get in any other action or thriller movie!! Hats off to Farhadi and I hope that he makes more movies like these. Truly, for the first time I think that we owe something to this movie watching experience and A Separation truly deserves a long bow... Highly Recommended!!
