Fireworks Wednesday
2006 · Movie · 104 min. · Iran
Hired as a maid for constantly feuding couple Morteza and Mojdeh, bride-to-be Rouhi is thrust headfirst into a whirlwind of middle-class commotion in rising star Asghar Farhadi’s perceptive and superblyacted drama of infidelity and social hierarchies. Disenchanted Mojdeh suspects her husband of having an affair with next door neighbor, beautician Simin. Modjeh soon entrusts the innocuous Rouhi to spy on Simin, and begins her own reconnaissance mission as well, setting the tone for a chaotic and complex tale where everyone is hiding something. As Rouhi unwittingly stumbles upon all of their secrets, the film hits a climactic end—rounded out with the streets and sky ablaze with fireworks
