The Salesman 12A
Rana and Emad are a middle-class couple living comfortably
in Tehran, involved in a local theatre production of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. Just as the run
starts, the building where they live threatens to collapse and the couple move
into an apartment owned by a fellow cast member. However, the lingering traces
of the previous tenant force their way into Rana and Emad’s lives…
Asghar Farhadi has produced some of the most striking and well-crafted
storylines in contemporary cinema. The
Salesman is no exception: it is a remarkable film that deals as much with
what is unseen as what is seen, and this withholding of information makes for
an utterly absorbing – and at times shocking - experience.
