Yes, Shakespeare wrote Coriolanus. Who knew? Well, Ralph Fiennes for one. The Academy Award nominated actor famous for The English Patient, Schindler’s List, and playing Harry Potter’s nemesis Voldemort, has chosen the Bard’s much overlooked play for his directorial debut.

But set in contemporary Belgrade, it's Shakespeare unlike you’ve ever seen it before. Join me, Alice Tynan, The Sci Fi Show’s Oscar Hillerstrom and Trespass Magazine’s Beth Wilson on our cinematic voyage of discovery, as we delve into the legendary life of Roman General Caius Marcias, transformed into a towering filmmaking debut by Fiennes.

The fall out from a divorce is never limited to the separating couple. Indeed, as Asghar Farhadi’s intricate and beautiful film reveals, the consequences can be as unforeseen as they are heartrending.

Superlative filmmaking on all levels, this universal tale is made more striking for its modern Iranian setting, as the couple’s impasse - to stay in Iran or leave for the West – unfolds to include economic and religious complexities…with not one but two families drawn into A Separation.

Join me, Alice Tynan, The Sci Fi Show’s Oscar Hillerstrom and Trespass Magazine’s Beth Wilson as we band together to talk separation, screenwriting and the stunning naturalism that Farhadi and his cast achieve in this gem of a film.
