About Elly
This film was voted for by the members in January from the shortlist.
Following the commercial and Oscar winning success of "A Separation", which we showed last season, the distributors have released the director's earlier film. The setting is a group of young educated Tehranis holidaying by the Caspian Sea.
"It is not hard to detect a subtext: a crtique of the lies and evasions that permeate Iranian society... Farhadi seems set to become a major creative force in world cinema" Philip Kemp, Sight and Sound.
"Superbly acted, morally challenging , packed with legitimate suspense, this is film-making of a high order." Philip French, The Observer
