FILMS 2012, Entry #6

15 weeks

Total: 32 films

This update is really late, but I watched the much-acclaimed "A Separation" a couple of weeks ago in the theatres. It was really, really good. Even though it was originally written in another language, you could just see clearly how the writing was so strong. Cleverly constructed plot, with so many different dynamics and commentary going on at the same time, but it never feels tedious or overwrought. And the acting of the two leads was incredible. Just from the opening courtroom single take scene, you could tell how good both actors were - moving to the foreground and back, delivering their dialogue and just sustaining the audience's interest through a simple scene like that.
