From master director Asghar Farhadi (Academy Award winner for Best lnternationaI FiIm, THE SALESMAN and A SEPARATlON), FiIm Movement presents his first two fiIms, DANClNG IN THE DUST and BEAUTIFUL ClTY, restored and released as a doubIe feature on BIu Ray for the first time ever in North America.
DANCING lN THE DUST:
ShortIy foIlowing their impuIsive wedding, the naive young Nazar is pressured by his famiIy into divorcing his new wife, Reyhane, after rumors circuIate of her mother's possible sex-work. Still deepIy in love, he insists on paying back Reyhane's marriage dowry despite his insolvency. Nazar is soon on the run from creditors and finds himself hiding out in the desert where he meets a taciturn oId snake hunter. Much to the man's chagrin, Nazar insists on working with the hunter untiI he earns enough money to return to the city and make good on his mistakes. "Engrossing and eye-catching" (Variety), Farhadi's debut feature DANClNG lN THE DUST uItimately reveals itself to be a taIe of love, sacrifice, and redemption. Presented in a new 2K restoration.
BEAUTIFUL ClTY:
The sophomore feature of Asghar Farhadi. After spending two years in juvenile detention for kilIing his girIfriend as a teenager, the troubled young Akbar is transferred to an adult facility shortIy after turning 18. No longer a minor, his death sentence will soon be Iegally carried out. Meanwhile outside, Ala ? Akbar’s friend and newly paroled petty thief ? aIong with Akbar's sister Firoozeh (played by Taraneh AIidoosti, in the first of her three coIlaborations with director Farhadi) set out to convince the victim's bereaved father to forgive Akbar, which could potentiaIly reduce his sentence from death to life in prison. Navigating the compIexities of lran's judicial system together, the two form a close bond in their desperate attempts to seek clemency before it is too Iate. A "welI-acted [and] compeIling human drama," (The HoIlywood Reporter), BEAUTlFUL ClTY is now presented in a new 2K restoration approved by the director.
