In the not-too-distant future the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. A poor young man who gets the fortune of lots of time (Justin Timerlake), though too late to help his mother from dying. He ends up on the run from a police force known as 'time keepers'.
A good script, a brilliant Cillician Murphy (Batman Begins) as time keeper and a new story made a very special thriller. Subtle science to drive the viewer in a dark labyrinth. Spectacular in details and art to use ordinary pieces, the film has slices of social crisis and family problems, self definition and daily illusions.
Clearly produced to support the current Occupy Movement.

Nader and Simin argue about living abroad. Simin prefers to live abroad to provide better opportunities for their only daughter, Termeh. However, Nader refuses to go because he thinks he must stay in Iran and take care of his father, who suffers from Alzheimer’s. However, Simin is determined to get a divorce and leave the country with her daughter.
But that's not totally what this movie is about. Things happen and what we get to see is the meaning of honour, family respect, blood money en a sneak peek into the Iranian justice system.
The extremely believable acting and insanely complex script compel the viewer to make up his/her mind just like when reading a court case. As for the screenplay, I'm almost certain the events in this film actually happened in real life, because in no way could one fabricate such a chaotically complex series of events, so beautifully woven into a coherent whole.
Without a film like this, we might not be able to understand that Iranians are a modern people with issues like our own, and not dangerous fanatics as some media and politicians would have us believe.
A Separation deserves all the plaudits it is getting and deserves a much wider audience. Minimalistic and economic, this flick is already one of the finest, most chiseled pieces of cinema of this year.
If you don't like subtitles: don't worry, you will forget they are there.
