Le Passé (The Past)

Directed by Asghar Farhadi (A Separation)

Starring Berénice Bejo (The Artist), Tahar Rahim (A Prophet), Ali Mosaffa

Synopsis: An Iranian man having long-term domestic problems with his French wife, deserts his wife and two children to go back to his homeland, Iran. In the mean time, his wife is seeing a French man and therefore writes to him and asks for a divorce which compels the man to come back to France, only to see his wife's new partner in his home beside his children.

Expected to premiere at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival next month:

Here’s the math: You have the starlet of The Artist (Bejo), the "it" actor of the Croisette a couple of years back for A Prophet (Rahim), you have a Foreign Film Oscar winner (Farhadi), a shot in Paris – French language film. Memento Films can’t wait to unveil this to international auds. Main Competition berth is most assured.
