FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE Asghar Farhadi - The Salesman 

The Persian director Asghar Farhadi should actually become the victim of his great success! Oscar and Golden Globe awarded, awarded in Cannes... The expectations for his new film The Salesman are immense! My heart's back to a marriage in distress. Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti) have to leave their old apartment building in Tehran. They are offered an apartment for rent, the previous occupant left his furniture and even his clothes. One night Rana is attacked in the shower at night. Despite a bad head injury, Rana knows she was raped. At least there are strong signs of this thesis. Rana is ashamed not to tell her husband. Rana insists she never saw her attacker... Was it the previous tenant? Don't they? Did Rana really not see him? Or is it? What is clear is that nobody seems to tell the whole story. But what can Rana gain by not telling the truth? Again and again the action is interrupted by scenes of Arthur_Miller's "Death Of A Salesman". Basically, Miller's classic has no connection to the framework plot. It is inserted as a play in which the couple also act as actors. I think it's only on stage that the script allows them to say things to themselves that they could never confide in in private.
