“Beautiful crafted, fascinating … a constant surprise that captures the drama and suspense of real life as urgently as any picture released this year.” –NPR
After his wife Simin leaves him, the middle-class Nader hires Razieh, a devout, impoverished woman, to look after his Alzheimer’s-stricken father. But an accident pulls two families into a spiraling, Kafkaesque labyrinth of Iran’s Islamic legal system. Winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Film and Berlin’s Golden Bear for best film and for the male and female ensembles, writer-director Asghar Farhadi’s masterpiece explores Iranian class conflict, gender inequalities and cultural tensions with subtlety and elegance. By film’s end, you can feel the tragic spiritual condition of an entire society in your bones. A Separation is certain to receive an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Film. (Iran, 2011, 123m, 35mm, Sony Pictures Classics)

HaMakom presents: The Human Resources Manager
The Human Resources Manager of Jerusalem's largest bakery is in trouble. He is separated from his wife, distanced from his daughter, and stuck in a job he hates. When one of his employees, a foreign worker, is killed in a suicide bombing, the bakery is accused of indifference, and the HR Manager is sent to the victim's hometown in Romania to make amends. Far from home, on a mission to honor a woman he didn't even know but has somehow grown to admire, the HR Manager fights to regain his company's reputation - and possibly his own humanity.

“Showed the world that Ray had great range and talent beyond the naturalism of his first films ... his most accomplished film, and many critics still hold it as the director’s masterpiece.” –Turner Classic Movies
Satyajit Ray brilliantly evokes the crumbling opulence of the world of a fallen aristocrat desperately clinging to a fading way of life. His greatest joy—a chamber where he once hosted lavish concerts—has become a shadow of its former vivid self. Ray’s incandescent depiction of the clash between tradition and modernity—which showcases a generation of India’s most popular musicians and actors—is a defining work by the great Bengali filmmaker.
