The famed Iranian director’s 2006’s Fireworks Wednesday follows a day in the life of a young, newly engaged cleaner who spends a day deeper and deeper intertwined in the breakdown of the lives of a warring married couple. Fireworks Wednesday works itself up from humble, everyday beginnings into a tremendous, compelling maelstrom of drama, rich with commentary on marriage, gender, age and culture. A tactile and immensely fulfilling film, it finds truth and beauty in modest moments.
