Farhadi is a masterful director of actors, and here he gets a range of precise, vivid performances from a cast that also includes Golshifteh Farahani, Peyman Moadi ("A Seperation"), Mani Haghighi and Shahab Hosseini. It might be argued that Farhadi doesn't have any grand message, or "world vision" as he puts it. But to me, his way of revivifying cinema, and connecting its spaces to those of human hearts and minds, is vision aplenty.
