The French-language film, which is Farhadi’s first project shot outside of his homeland, is about an Iranian man named Ahmad who returns to Paris from Tehran after a four-year separation, upon his French wife Marie’s request, in order to finalize their divorce.
The film brought its French star Berenice Bejo the Palme d’Or for best actress at the 66th annual Cannes Film Festival in May 2013.
The DIFF announced its winners during a ceremony in the South African city on July 27. The best film award went to Japanese director Sion Sono for “The Land of Hope”, and Canadian actor and filmmaker Xavier Dolan won the best director award for “Laurence Anyways”.
David and Eitan Cunio shared the best actor award for their roles in “Youth” by Israeli director Tom Shoval.
The best actress award was shared by Paulina Garcia for her role in Chilean director Sebastián Lelio’s “Gloria” and Suzanne Clément for her role in “Laurence Anyways”.
