Double Oscar-winning director and writer Asghar Farhadi brings us his gripping Best Foreign Language Film winner The Salesman.

After their flat becomes damaged, Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti), a young couple living in Tehran, Iran, must move into another apartment. Once relocated, a sudden eruption of violence linked to the previous tenant of their new home dramatically changes their lives, creating a simmering tension between husband and wife.

This gripping tale from Farhadi is a reminder of why he is one of the best world cinema makers on the scene. This film also features a fantastic lead performance from Shahab Hosseini who picked up a best actor award at the coveted Cannes Film Festival.
