Directed by Asghar Farhadi, The Salesman won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars in addition to awards for Best Screenplay and Best Actor at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.
In The Salesman, actors Emad (Shahab Hosseini) and his wife Rana (Taraneh Alidoosti) prepare for opening night on their production of Arthur Miller’s Death of a Salesman. However, work on a neighbouring building forces the couple to leave their home and move into a new apartment.
“We’re excited to bring this stellar film to South African cinemas to give audiences a glimpse of Asghar Farhadi’s brilliance as attested to by the film’s Academy Award win this year,” says Ryan Haidarian of Forefront Media Group – the film’s local distributor.
The Salesman releases at Nouveau cinemas at Rosebank Mall in Johannesburg, Brooklyn Mall in Pretoria, Ster-Kinekor Gateway in Durban, and V&A Waterfront in Cape Town on Friday, 5 May. The film’s running time is 125 minutes and the classification is to be confirmed.
