The Salesman mines its themes in Iranian literature and American drama, but something about its portrayal of the delicate anxiety of a relationship in the face of violence is uniquely its own.

Director Asghar Farhadi painstakingly crafts the film so that every piece fits perfectly, from the inside out.
