Gradually (highly recommended to read these two plays before watching this movie 1.Cow by Gholam Hossein Saedi and 2.Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller) The salesman is really breathtaking and it has all the familiar factor of Farhadi's movies with a big difference that there is not any sign of those open ends anymore and you associate with the main character of movie more than any time. The story is about a young couple (Emad and Rana) who are performing at Arthur Miller's play Death of a salesman. They have to move to another apartment because their apartment is going to collapse. This moving cause a serious issue in their life because of the old tenant. In the beginning of the film when Emad_ with brilliant performance by Shahab Hosseini_ and his students was reading Saedi's play Cow, one of his student asked him "Sir,How does a man become cow?" Emad answered: "gradually". This question and Emad's answer are the main theme of this movie. Farhadi has used some part of the play Death of a Salesman in his movie masterfully and he has chosen Emad for the Willy's role in order to show and emphasize how Emad gradually got far away from his family or even his wife just like willy. The last twenty minutes of film are really breathtaking and the spectators associate with Emad more than anytime and I think they regularly ask themselves "if I were him, what would I do?" The salesman is a story about revenge or with accurate express is a story about the motivation of revenge. This story like another Fahadi's movies occurs in a family and effects family members. After A separation and now with the salesman Farhadi can be considered as a great master in directing suspenseful family drama like Hitchcock.

Asghar Farhadi is an amazing director. His 4 films are nominated for Oscar in a row. Amonth them, "A Separation" won the first Oscar and Golden globe to an Iranian movie. His direction style and making always impress me.

"The Salesman" is the story of a couple who move to a new apartment, unaware that it was occupied by a prostitute before them. A customer of the old tenant makes a visit to the apartment that makes the couples life upside down.

The husband is searching for the visitor for a revenge, but ends up in a sweet revenge story, or so called.

I was so impressed by the movie that I have no words to explain or describe it. Asghar Farhadi's free and candid type of visuals makes the movie more lively. Close ups make the drama more intense.

The movie is such an emotional drama that you don't want to miss.

A must watch. Highly recommended.

Asghar Farhadi first came to my attention when "A Separation" got nominated for Best Foreign Language Film in early 2012. It won, and while accepting his Oscar, Farhadi reminded US citizens to view Iran as more than crazy ayatollahs. His latest movie, "Forushande" ("The Salesman" in English) also won that award. This movie focuses on a different topic, but still important. The main characters are a couple starring in a production of "Death of a Salesman". Forced out of their apartment due to an impending collapse, they move into an apartment secured by a fellow actor. But when the wife gets assaulted, a series of events gets set in motion.

The plot is intended to subtly mirror the plot of Arthur Miller's play, as cracks in the characters' lives begin to show. This is one movie that's all about subtlety. I highly recommend it. As for its Oscar win, the notable event was that Asghar Farhadi boycotted the ceremony to protest Donald Trump's Muslim ban, so he had astronaut Anousheh Ansari accept it in his stead. She read a letter from Farhadi condemning the Muslim ban. Of all the other submissions for the award, I've only seen "Desierto", which is also a good movie.
