The film stars Bérénice Bejo, Tahar Rahim, and Ali Mosaffa, and focuses on a couple going through a divorce in order for the husband to return to his home country of Iran.
The Past looks every bit as powerful as A Separation, and promises to deal with some pretty heavy subject matter- don’t expect this to be the feel good movie of the year. There’s no current US release, however a deal will most likely be made at the fest.
