NADER AND SIMIN, A SEPARATION

Saturday's closing ceremony of the Berlin film festival saw an Iranian film sweep the board. The coveted Golden Bear for best picture was given to director Asghar Farhadi's Nader and Simin, A Separation. The film deals with the difficult break-up of a marriage, whilst providing a subtle examination of Iran's social divide, religious traditions and justice system. 


The festival's six-member jury, led by actress Isabella Rossellini, further praised the film by handing the best actor and best actress awards to its leads Peyman Moadi and Leila Hatami.
