This week we watched two frankly outstanding, critically acclaimed dramas showing two completely different sides of the Middle East.
The first is Incendies, Denis Villeneuve’s 2010 harrowing tale of twins who journey to an unnamed Middle Eastern country to learn more about their late mother’s life.
The second is A Separation, Asghar Farhadi’s 2011 Oscar-winning courtroom drama, which gives the viewer a fascinating insight into the lives of a middle-class couple in Iran as they go through a divorce.
