Reuters - "A Separation" won the Oscar for best foreign language film on Sunday, becoming the first Iranian movie to win the honor.l Written and directed by Asghar Farhadi, the domestic drama focuses on a couple going through a divorce and touches on traditions, justice, and male-female relationships in modern Iran.l "A Separation" was regarded as the front-runner for the foreign language Oscar after sweeping the awards circuit in Europe and the United States. It also garnered an Oscar nomination for best original screenplay.l It was the second Iranian film to be nominated for an Oscar, and the first to win.l "At this time, many Iranians all over the world are watching us and I imagine them to be very happy," director Farhadi said while accepting the Oscar.l "At a time of tug of war, intimidation and aggressions exchanged between politicians, the name of their county, Iran, is spoken here through her glorious culture, a rich and ancient culture that has been hidden under the heavy dust of politics."l "I proudly offer this award to the people of my country, the people who respect all cultures and civilizations and despise hostility and resentment," he added.l "A Separation" has received almost universal critical acclaim, gracing many top 10 lists for the best movies of 2011.l Farhadi made the movie under Iranian censors who impose strictures on filmmakers in the name of Islamic morality and national morale. But he has said he was not confronted with censorship.l Award-winning Iranian director Jafar Panahi was sentenced to jail in 2010 and banned from making any more films. Farhadi has spoken up for Panahi, putting himself in the line of fire from hardliners in the Iranian government.
