masterful examination of a marriage in trouble.
The film begins with a husband and wife arguing divorce in front of a judge: the couple has, after a long struggle, gotten permission to emigrate--- but the man no longer wishes to because he must care for his aging father who is suffering from Alzheimer's. The wife is not granted the divorce--- both parties must consent to a divorce under Sharia--- but she moves out, pressuring him into hiring a woman to care for his father while he is at work. A terrible accident occurs with this woman and suddenly the entire family is plunged into a formal charge of murder.
This isn't merely the best film of this year, it is among the best you ever will see. The acting is perfect, the story is believable, and the direction is unobtrusive and clever.
Don't for a moment think the problems this couple are undergoing have no relevance to our society: aging parents are becoming a great social issue in all developed nations as medical treatments prolong life and create pressures upon families for the care of loved ones.
This is a very entertaining film, yes, but also it is a work of art, immediately taking its place among the greatest films exploring the nature of marriage and parenting.
Because of its victory it was showing at a Multiplex in Portland, a fair-sized city: the crowd was very large.
Go.
