Trigger warning: Sexual Assault
The Salesman was not what I expected!
I knew it was an Iranian film about a couple that is putting on a production of Death of a Salesman and that's all I knew. It is about so much more than that!
It is about marriage and hardship. It is about assault and the aftermath. It is about shame and the wedges it drives between people. It is about revenge and entitlement. It is about empathy and pushing the limits of understanding. Holy cow! It made me think so much and feel so confused about really complex situations!
The acting was really great, the pacing admirable; just all around great film making!
