The Salesman (2016, Iran/France, Dir. Asghar Farhadi, 125 mins, 12A) - subtitled

Director: Asghar Alidoosti, Shahab Hosseini and Babak Karimi.

After their Tehran flat becomes damaged, Emad (Hosseini) and Rana (Alidoosti) must move into another apartment; a place with unsettling reminders of its previous tenant – and a sudden, violent incident soon erupts.

As the couple continue to rehearse for an amateur production of Death of a Salesman, Emad’s determination to investigate the incident creates a widening gulf between them.

The Salesman earned Farhadi his second Best Foreign Language Oscar and, as in his previous winner A Separation, he expertly creates rounded characters whose domestic dramas are framed within wider Iranian society.

With two showings at 2.30pm and 7.30pm.
