Although the film focuses on family life, it does not only focus on the affection of the children of one family, but also spreads the two themes of filial piety and love to the disputes of ethics and responsibility between the two families. The core of the family remains unchanged, ranging from emotional radiation to morality, and a clear stand. The film uses the video technique of drawing away from the dialogue several times to show the reality that the two parties are in love but not communicating smoothly. The design of the film is too formal in dealing with the relationship between parents and children. In terms of the performance method of dealing with the tension between the characters and the solution of the moral dilemma, although there is a progressive pleasure in the dramatic aspect, but in terms of the most basic indicator of the pleasure of watching movies, it has just passed.
The film is an atypical Iranian film. The film conveys pure emotion and humanity. Iranian expressions and symbols such as society, politics, and religion in Iranian films are all obscured. The delicate narration and inner rhythm of "Le Passé" exudes the melancholy and gentle temperament of European films. While portraying the inner trajectories of several main characters, the director dug out the core of Le Passé's truth quietly. The portrayal of the complex relationships between the characters, the control of the story and emotions, the ability of the story and the grasp of emotions are all impressive. Point, this film is another exploration of the color of Iranian film.
"Le Passé" is a film shot by Asghar Farhadi in France. Although he left Iran, the main body of this film is still related to the lives of the Iranian people. The film is eye-catching and meticulous, and the theme is a difficult problem of moral choice, which continues the usual style characteristics of Asghar Farhadi's films. As the first foreign language film directed by Fahati, "Le Passé" has been basically recognized by many media after its release at the Cannes Film Festival, but some media believe that the quality of the film is not as good as Fahati's predecessor, "A Parting".
The plot content of the film is intricate, focusing on issues such as the complicated relationship between men and women, the impact of divorced families on children, and morality and justice. The director's handling of the scenes is methodical, and each role has an appropriate weight. And the script is well thought out, well-conceived, and the dialogue is wonderful. The film uses a layered approach to slowly push the audience from one climax to another, without a cold scene from the beginning to the end. It is a family ethics drama full of reasoning.
