Iran is no longer in the headlines. But in Berlin, where an Iranian member of the jury who’s now in prison was represented by an empty chair, the Iranian film Nader and Simin: A Separation, by Asghar Farhadi, won the Golden Bear. Acting awards were given to the male and female leads in this drama about a family that tumbles into crisis.

David D’Arcy, back from the Berlinale, talks about Nader and Simin, one of the encouraging signs at the festival.
