Can Asghar Farhadi bag another Oscar for The Salesman?
For those of you who are not familiar with his work, Farhadi is arguably the leader of the new Iranian wave in cinema.
The Salesman is the new Iranian film by master filmmaker, Asghar Farhadi.
The story revolves around an Iranian couple (Shahab Hosseini and Taraneh Alidoosti) who after an earthquake, are forced to move into a new apartment. They both work as actors and are relatively happy with their current situation. But tragedy strikes when an intruder invades their home in the absence of the husband and he is now in search for the culprit.
