Finnkino Prize: Selection Officielle 2009 / Director: Asghar Farhadi
About Elly
Over the past few years, Farhadi has emerged as a preeminent creative force in Iranian cinema and has done so in part by making sophisticated dramas about the oft-overlooked Iranian middle-class. ”About Elly” continues in this rich vein, distilling Farhadi’s remarkable storytelling abilities as he brings us ever closer to the nexus of his characters’ web of deceit and suggests that the victim of such dishonesty tends to be the least deserving.
