“On a microscopic piece of sand that floats through space is a fragment of a man’s life. Left to rust is the place he lived in and the machines he used. Without use, they will disintegrate from the wind and the sand and the years that act upon them. All of Mr. Corry’s machines - including the one made in his image, kept alive by love, but now obsolete - in the Twilight Zone.”
-Rod Serling, “The Lonely”, The Twilight Zone (1959)

A Separation

I watched ‘A Separation’ last night. I thought this was one of the ‘realest’ movies I’d seen in a while. The multiplicity of perspectives causes the viewers to continue questioning the morality of the characters’ beliefs and behaviors.

Something I really liked about this film was its low-key style. The camera very much had the quality of the ‘fly on the wall’ perspective, allowing the viewer a sense of neutrality towards the characters and events.

It is appreciated when a film does not aim for sentimentality or moral righteousness, but simply allows life’s complexities play out like they really do: with plenty shades of gray and subjective justifications.

I plan on viewing Asghar Farhadi’s earlier works, and definitely recommend this to anybody who wants to see visually understated, contemporary cinema that isn’t attempting to pull any tricks.
