The films by Farhadi I've seen so far gave me frustration because of the lack of open and clear communication. I don't know if this is deliberate and the director is trying to tell us something about Iranian society but it reminds me cheesy Turkish soap operas where the enigma will be resolved instantly if people talked to each other patiently rather than raging or looking away. As a Turkish person who's never been to Iran yet, I find Iranian films fascinating even for the similar looks, customs, objects and life style we seem to share. But unfortunately I don't find it realistic that people don't talk or have a proper fight with each other although living/working together. Maybe I'm too naive though, I don't know...
