Hosseini previously collaborated with Farhadi on the films About Elly (2008) and A Separation (2011), and Hosseini’s energy, dedication and meticulous performances play a significant role in the success of the film. Farhadi adds another layer to the situation by drawing a connection between Arthur Miller’s play Death of a Salesman and the story of modernization in Iran. The film presents the familiar idea of private space being disrupted and touches upon the question of how violence emerges in society, as well as how the judgement of others can turn a non-violent and peaceful character into a monstrous person. Asghar Farhadi’s newest film The Salesman recently won prizes at Cannes for both Farhadi’s screenplay and for Shahab Hosseini’s lead performance.
