Farhadi watches ‘About the Salesman’

Notable Iranian director Asghar Farhadi views ‘About the Salesman’ film themed on his Oscar-winning pic at one of Iranian theaters.

The Oscar-winner for directing ‘The Salesman’ attended a Tehran cinema hall to watch the doc titled ‘About the Salesman’ with a focus on Farhadi and his Academy-award win in Best Foreign Language Film category.

Co-directed by Vahid Sedaqat and Tahmineh  Monzavi, ‘About the Salesman’ features behind-the-scenes of Farhadi’s film as well as what the auteur and the well-known Iranian and international critics say of the Oscar grabber.

'The Salesman' tells the story of a young couple named Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti) who move into a new flat in the center of Tehran. But an incident linked to the previous tenant dramatically changes their life.

The film also won double awards for best screenplay and best actor at the Cannes Film Festival.

Farhadi's most famous movie, ‘A Separation’, grabbed global recognition as the first Iranian movie to win an Oscar at the 84th Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.
