Certainly not a piece of Farghadi you can just miss after watching his breakthrough –A Separation. The whole two hours is a total intense domestic turbulence delivered in flux of emotions.

Its plot is developing from the stage act of 1949’s Death of a Salesman, which somehow happened to be performed by the married couple, Emad and Rana, in a theatre. Little did they know that someday their fate would be determined by a mere compromise –to go ahead or to let go. Before entering the heartbeating part of the movie, we were brought to experience the intricate life of an average Iranian. Emad and Rana were forced to find a new living place, as there was huge crack on the wall, due to a liquefaction caused by an ongoing demolition next to their flat.

I couldn’t imagine myself seeing The Salesman in a theater as I couldn’t bear the suspenseful narrative throughout the film. At the end, I was left speechless by my own incapability to conclude where to stand inside the arena where morals are in perpetual fights. As usual, Farghadi left his renowned directing mark by letting the final outcome roving in the head of audience,

Suddenly, there was a terror in the flat which left Rana heavily injured. Through time, her husband got carried over by this mysterious case. There was no need to involve of top-class detectives as as Fincher’s Seven Deadly Sins, because the way Emad unfold every single piece of proof is handsomely smart. Despite the difference, both term solvers practiced a same value that still resonates timelessly: “vengeance must be done to satisfy one’s standard of justice”.
