“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)

AIA Santa Fe presents: Urbanized

“A fascinating, idea-packed new documentary. Even viewers with deep knowledge of modern urban planning are likely to learn something … It is worth venturing out of your room, climbing on your bike or boarding a low-emissions bus and fighting your way through a crowd to see.” –A.O. Scott, New York Times

Over half the world’s population now lives in an urban area, and 75% will call a city home by 2050. The challenges of balancing housing, mobility, public space, civic engagement, economic development, and environmental policy are fast becoming universal concerns. Who is allowed to shape our cities, and how do they do it? Gary Hustwit follows his classic design films HELVETICA and OBJECTIFIED with this examination of urban design and the future of cities, featuring architects and planners including Norman Foster, Rem Koolhaas, Oscar Niemeyer and many others. (U.S., 2011, 85m, digital video)
