From the Oscar-winning director of A Separation comes a gorgeously shot, taut and involving thriller whose style evokes L’Avventura and Jaws. A group of cosmopolitan Iranian urbanites spends the weekend at the Caspian Sea and all is well until kindergarten teacher Elly disappears. Winning Berlin’s Silver Bear in 2009, Elly was not released in the US until now due to complicated rights issues—further proof that Asghar Farhadi is a new and conspicuously audacious kind of Iranian auteur. D: Asghar Farhadi, Iran, 2015, subtitled, 119m
