About Elly ( Darbareye Elly)- [Iran]
------------------------------------
Even though I had brought this movie soon after it got Best Picture award at International film festival of kerala last year, but could'nt see it till today. I missed out this during the film festival and badly wanted to see it as it had good review.
I have seen only 2 Iranian movies, this happens to be my third. The first both were Majid Majidi movies and was really impressed about quality of Iranian Movies. Third one too does'nt disappoints me.
The movie written and directed by Asghar Farahadi has a very simple storyline, depicting a weekend of 3 families and their other two friends at a seaside villa. Movie goes through mental excruciation the characters have when one person in the groups goes missing, and the rest don’t know whether she dead or alive. All characters are portrayed so well. Lot of steady cam shots, helps in intensifying the tension in the characters. Watch it for simple story telling. My verdict 7.5/10.
[SPOILER ALERT]-
Story-
Three families and their friend goes for a weekend vacation. One family also invites a beautiful school teacher named Elly, who teaches their daughter. The idea is to introduce Elly to their friend Ahmad who has returned back to Iran from Germany after a divorce.

Next day Elly insists she need to return home, but others forces her to stay. Later the day Elly goes missing. The rest of the story revolves around the Mental tensions and Judgments’ the rest of the group have about Elly and each other, while they keep searching for Elly.
