The Salesman’ Of Iran wins foreign-language film

According Los Angeles Times: Iran’s “The Salesman,” directed by Asghar Farhadi, won the Oscar for foreign-language film. The film, a domestic drama of morality and revenge, has garnered added attention since Farhadi, a previous Oscar winner, declared he would not attend the ceremony in the wake of the Trump administration’s travel ban.
Farhadi won for 2011’s “A Separation.” In “The Salesman,” a husband and wife working as actors on a Tehran production of “Death of a Salesman” find themselves coping with a violent assault, the details of which are beyond their cultural comfort to discuss.

Other nominees include:

“Toni Erdmann,” Germany

“A Man Called Ove,” Sweden

“Tanna,” Australia

“Land of Mine,” Denmark
