Movie No. 85 (2013): FIREWORKS WEDNESDAY

Fireworks Wednesday (2006)

Director: Asghar Farhadi

Cast: Hediyeh Tehrani, Tarane Aliddosti

In Farsi, with English subtitles

On the first day of her new assignment as a housekeeper, Rouhi becomes, in no time, absorbed into the marital quibbles of her new employers. The director, Asghar Farhadi, seems to be very comfortable in this type of domestic drama. Like in the two of his films that I've seen so far (A Separation and About Elly) one thing very noticeable is the editing. The shift from one scene to the next and those pans are so fluid. I'm becoming a fan of this film maker.

Rating: 3.5/4.0
