$12Iranian film “The Salesman,” by Asghar Farhadi is this month’s selection by Mountain Shadow Film Society. It won the 2017 Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Farhadi, who won a previous Academy Award in 2012, is known as “Master of the Ordinary” because he presents one of the few glances at middle class life that is available in Iran.
“The Salesman” refers to the Arthur Miller play and the two leading actors are a married couple facing their own dilemmas. A.O. Scott of The New York Times says “The Salesman” is a story “about trust and honor, about violence against women in a patriarchal society, about the woe that is in marriage but it is also about death, a salesman and the hidden brutality of class.”
