Attention must be paid

Forushande (The salesman)

Crit
Emad (Shahab Hosseini) is a good man, but of course: he's a high school English teacher and an amateur actor. Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti), his wife, is a good woman and his costar in a community production of the Arthur Miller play from which the film's title is drawn.

When Rana suffers a violation that is not explicit but is traumatizing, Emad is driven to find the perpetrator. When he does, the law of unexpected consequences takes over. Asghar Farhadi has made another harrowing film, of crime and punishment and pity and more punishment.
