ABOUT ELLY (2009)
A film by Asghar Farhadi
From the Oscar-winning director of A Separation comes a gripping
tale of secrets and lies amongst a tight-knit group of friends
holidaying on the Caspian Sea. With an expertly paced narrative
and an impressive ensemble cast, including Golshifteh Farahani
(Body of Lies), ABOUT ELLY is a cinematic masterclass that works
as both a thriller and a convincing character study. Intelligent,
shrewd and meticulously crafted, ABOUT ELLY confirms Asghar
Farhadi’s status as one of World Cinema’s finest talents.
