TORY/WRITING UNIT

According to a 2011 NY TIMES article, Asghar Farhadi’s film, A Separation “is a rigorously honest movie about the difficulties of being honest, a film that tries to be truthful about the slipperiness of truth. It also sketches a portrait — perhaps an unnervingly familiar picture for American audiences — of a society divided by sex, generation, religion and class.”
