The Academy Award winning film, A Separation is an honest observation of people. This film is raw without being harsh. The intensity of experience is expressed in the very simple way of displaying (seemingly without motive) the causes and effects of how people’s decisions affect each other.
Accomplished with a compassion for each character’s plight, the craftsmanship in pulling off this story is artful. The portrayal of these characters is masterful; the actors truly appear to live their roles. It is a film that encourages the audience to have a greater depth of understanding for people and forgive them for their mistakes no matter how much we want to find someone to blame. It implies that people are innocent while the rigidness of the structures of our beliefs is what is truly flawed. Writer, producer and director, Asghar Farhadi, could be seen to suggest a solution. by using the film itself as a metaphor for bare honesty that holds everyone responsible but no one to blame, a fair judgement can be made.

Headshot by Pen-Ek Ratanaruang -Thailand
HEADSHOT, now Thailand's nomination for the Oscars, is based on a novel called “Rain Falling Up the Sky” by a well-known Thai writer, Win Lyovarin. Initially, the author did not intend to write it as a novel, but rather as a script for an indie movie forming part of a film noir project. For some reason, it did not materialise, so the writer decided to transform the script into a novel instead; or as he called it, a film noir novel.
