Divorce Iranian Style

Mother's day • 1h 16m

null
Directed by Kim Longinotto, Ziba Mir-Hosseini • 1998 • Iran/UK
Divorce Iranian Style goes behind-the-scenes at a divorce court in Tehran, following three couples as they try to resolve their conflicts. Like a real-life forerunner to Asghar Farhadi’s Oscar-winner A Separation, the film offers an intimate and nuanced look at marital strife that is both all too familiar, and yet, also unique to its patriarchal culture.
