Our take
Early works from filmmakers who would soon become masters of their craft are always fascinating, and this debut from Asghar Farhadi is no exception. With formal preoccupations still in embryo, Dancing in the Dust finds the Iranian maestro already wrestling with the vagaries of cultural minutiae.
