Jonathan (Channing Tatum 21 Jump Street, The Vow) is a second-generation cop who gets in over his head when he’s assigned to re-open a double homicide cold case in his Queens neighborhood. An anonymous source feeding new information on the long-unsolved murders to a local reporter (Juliette Binoche Cosmopolis, Dan In Real Life, ) leads to evidence suggesting a possible cover-up by the former lead detective (Al Pacino The Godfather, Scarface) who was on the investigation. As Jonathan digs deeper into the assignment, a dark secret about the case emerges, which threatens to destroy his life and his family.

Channing Tatum delivers a gritty and memorable performance, while New York mainstay writer and director Dito Montiel (Guide to Recognizing Your Saints) is at the top of his game. Also starring Tracy Morgan (NBC’s “30 Rock”), Katie Holmes (Batman Begins), Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) and Jake Cherry (Night at the Museum), The Son of No One is a tense and powerful thriller filled with suspense, secrets and lies.

“Pina” was a project that Pina Bausch herself began, collaborating with celebrated filmmaker WimWenders. Two days before filming was scheduled to begin, she suddenly passed away. The film is a celebration of her life’s work and the influence she has had on world dance, but with a tone of sadness. Some of the dancers in the film have been working with her for 22 years; as one dancer puts it, “She watched me dance longer than my parents did”.

Each dancer takes their turn in front of the camera, their voiceover playing while they stare sadly and intently, with much emotion. Then the camera cuts to that dancer performing a solo dance, usually in a public place like a tram platform or a busy streetcorner or at a public pool. Each dance style is both unique to the performer and also uniquely Pina.

Pina’s style, as described throughout the film, is very emotional and expressive. Many dancers say that before they started dancing with Pina, that they didn’t have the words to express themselves. Dancing gave them a language that they could speak and understand. Her dances are very celebratory of the elements; one piece that she did had a giant rock that took up half the stage, while rain poured in the background. Dancers reveled in the water, feeding off of it. They used the rock as an obstacle and as a prop to help make their dancing better.

Her dancing also commonly features men and women dancing together, in very expressive ways. One of my favorite dances in the film was one of a man in a suit and a woman in a long gown with hearts all over it. She would be walking with the man in front of her, facing her, and then she would suddenly fall face down. The man would catch her, inches from the ground, and then raise her back up. These sort of dances express so much about relationships, and it’s a good example of the strange dancing featured throughout the film. It’s strange because it’s so different, but it’s amazing because it says so much without saying anything at all.

The film opens with her fascinating take on Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring, in which the entire stage floor is covered with dirt and dancers roll around in it, celebrating the earth. Pina’s other most known work, CaféMülleris also featuredprominently. Those unfamiliar with the work, as I was, might be a little confused by the piece at first. It features dancers in a room with chairs, and they maneuver around them, throw them around, and dance over and under them, while also expressing anger, love, and loneliness.

The film is best enjoyed in 3D on the big screen, like going to a live dance performance only you’re on stage with the dancers, seeing every expression on their faces as they dance. It’s a very moving, personal experience;, each dance can be differently interpreted by each audience member. “Pina” is a 3D celebration of dance, art, life, love, and Pina Bausch herself.

Nader and Simin have been married for fourteen years and have an eleven year old girl, Termeh. Simin wants a better life for her daughter and wants to move away from Iran, but Nader isn’t ready yet. He has to care for his elderly father who is suffering from Alzheimer’s. Simin insists on a divorce but Nader won’t give in, so she moves in with her mother.

Simin’s absence forces Nader to hire someone to care for his father while he is at work, and Simin recommends a woman named Razieh. Nader hires her and she starts work the next morning, with her young daughter in tow.

Razieh is a religiously devout woman though, and it would be considered a sin to work in the home of another man without the consent of her husband. One day Nader comes home from work early to find his father fallen off the bed, unconscious, with his hand tied to the bedpost. Soon after his arrival, Razieh walks in the door with her daughter. Nader makes accusations about her character and when Razieh refuses to leave the house without defending herself, Nader pushes her out the door and, consequently, down the stairs.

Nader finds out from Simin that Razieh has been hospitalized; she was pregnant and had a miscarriage. Razieh’s husband Houjat is outraged, and sues Nader for the death of his unborn child. If convicted, Nader could serve between one and three years jail time.

“A Separation” is a very complex story told through beautiful, effortless narrative. It feels at the same time like a slow-moving film, but it’s also extremely compelling. Farhadi has a clear concept of his culture and translates it to a worldwide audience incredibly well.

Each character has their own agenda to promote, but each character’s intentions are noble. Nader wants to care for his dying father in his own home, while raising his daughter as best as he can. Simin wants a better life for her daughter than she had growing up in Iran. She still loves her husband and wants the family to remain intact, but she knows that if her husband won’t cooperate and leave the country, a divorce is the best scenario for her daughter.

Razieh is very religious, from a poor, working class, and pregnant. Her intentions were to find a job to support her family, but then with the miscarriage, she found herself fighting for her family’s integrity. Houjat is a man burdened by debt, the loss of his unborn child, and the financial responsibility that comes with supporting a growing family. He just wants the best for his family.

The film walks the fine line between morality and what is religious, and what is necessary to survive. Farhadi conducts the cast with skilled perfection, like they’re his symphony. “A Separation” is a film that plays with the core of our very being, and shows just how similar we are to other parts of the world.
