One of the greats.
Head over to Fandor to watch this incredible Israeli film. You’ll need a membership ($10 per month) to view it, but it’s worth it.
Watch the trailer for Asghar Farhadi‘s latest film, “The Past“. If you haven’t already, you should watch his Academy Award-winning film, “A Separation” (Iran, 2011). Also, check this out.
