Will you be able to face your spouse who has been separated from you and is now in a relationship with someone else? This movie directed by Asgar Faradhi talks about the topic of divorce, parenting and suicide. "The Past" is a french language film, which was made in the year 2013. Ahmad returns to France after 4years to settle everything with the divorce with his wife Marie. But, he gets to know that Marie is now in a relationship with Samir. The awkward situation happens when Ahmad had to stay in a house where there is Samir. It will be awkward for both the men. What follows is the discovery of reality by Ahmad from people around Marie about the relationship he is in.
As any Asgar Faradhi's film, the movie doesn't have a background score and the emotions are expressed by emotions of the actors. All the actors have given their best performance. The kid who is playing Samir son's character has acted really well, he is just amazing.
Most of the Agar Faradhi's film deals with the topic of divorce. Here in this movie we see what happens in lives of two people who were once married. The movie is a drama, but the slow revelations of the secrets of Marie and her new relationship makes it feel like it is a suspense film.
One scene that this film is known for is the uncomfortable feeling felt by Samir and Ahmad when they find themselves in the dining room with no one around and nothing to talk about. This scene is very simple, but it will make even the person watching it uncomfortable.
We see that during a divorce the most pain happens to the kids. Both Ahmad's daughter and Samir's son will be having a difficult time accepting their new member of the family.
