This Wednesday at 12:30 PM, there’s a free showing (with complimentary popcorn & beverage) of A Separation, an Academy Award & Golden Globe winner!
This film, in Farsi with English subtitles, speaks in a universal language about family, and the ties that bind and rein us in. A woman in Iran seeks a divorce from her husband because he refuses to emigrate because he must tend to his Alzheimer’s-afflicted father. The decisions each makes after that leads to tragedy. Set in a country we only know from the headlines, there is nothing alien about the customs or habits, or the urban environment where this story takes place.
A Separation is rated PG-13, with a run time of 2 hr. 3 min., showing at the Starin Park Community Building.
