Review of The Salesman (2016) by Dawdlingpoet — 23 Nov 2021

This is an interesting world cinema film, certainly in terms of the social commentary angle it has. I felt both very sorry for the wife and frustrated by the attitude displayed by the husband. It was interesting seeing such a foreign culture/community tackle a western play (The Salesman by Arthur Miller), though not too many scenes show the play itself I suppose - certainly not from the audience's perspective.

I thought it had good plot development, with the pace speeding up towards the end. All in all, it's a somewhat sobering and thought-provoking watch, which I'd recommend to fans of world cinema.
