The Salesman
2019
Computer Files, Websites
When their Tehran flat is badly damaged, Emad and Rana, a young married couple starring in a Tehran production of *Death of a Salesman*, are forced to move into a new flat, until recently occupied by a mysterious young woman. When Rana is violently assaulted, a rift opens between the couple that will push their marriage to its limits, as Rana seeks solitude and Emad seeks revenge. Drawing parallels between post-war New York and contemporary Tehran, THE SALESMAN is a powerful social critique that touches on family, gender, and the chilling psychology of vengeance. Winner of Best Foreign Language Picture at the **Academy Awards**. Winner of Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Nominated for Best Foreign Film at the **Golden Globes** and the **BAFTA Awards**. *"It is by any measure a great film, a quiet, yet overwhelmingly intense production that forces us to recalibrate our notion of what suspenseful cinema can mean and do." - Colin Covert, **Minneapolis Star Tribune***
