<br>
Set in contemporary Iran, <em>A Separation </em>is the story of a marriage dissolving. Told with balance and poise, this movie does not provide easy answers or pat situations. It is a story of modern Iran, but is also a story that could be told in any place where the rise of women has impacted the traditional balance of power. <br>
<br>
"The film is a singular achievement, a piece of realist cinema with the
pull of a suspense thriller, given its characters' array of deceits,
troubles, burdens and miseries both self-inflicted and
society-reinforced. Yet the level of craft, and the ease and rightness
of every performance in this tale of divorce and its collateral damage,
transforms what might be crushing melodrama into a moral riddle with no
correct answer." - <a rel="nofollow" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#3300ff;" title="" target="_blank" href="http://www.des07.com/t/23928686/585577108/54877810/0/"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;color:#3300ff;">Michael Philips in the Chicago Tribune</span></a>.<br>

</span><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;"><span style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">From the psychedelic animation to the Beatles' music, </span>nothing captures the spirit of its time (1968) better than this movie.

The most overlooked part of this film, however, is the dialogue. Full of puns and wordplay, the repartee rolls merrily from song to song.

The simple story of Lise, her suitor Colas, and Lise's larger-than-life mother is both funny and touching, and filled with glorious detailed movement. <br>
