Review of The Salesman (2016) by Bhbarry — 12 Feb 2017
“The Salesman”, an Iranian film, written and directed by Asghar Farhadi, has been nominated for Best Foreign Film in this year’s upcoming Academy Awards presentations. This is a film worthy of such an honor as its stars, Shabab Hoosini and Taraneh Alidoosti, portray a married couple involved in live theater as they perform the play within the play, i.
E. “Death of a Salesman” ( hence the film’s title). In most cases dialogue in a foreign language with English titles can be a significant obstacle for an audience to properly enjoy a film’s value and worth but such is not the case here.
The well written script, the delicate and sensitive directing and the superb acting make this a suspenseful, intense and important viewing experience. I give the film an 8.0 rating for, as any salesman will tell you, a quality product sells itself.
