“The Salesman” Debuts On Blu-ray, DVD & Digital HD May 2

“The Salesman,” this year’s Academy Award® winner for Best Foreign Language Film, makes its eagerly awaited debut on Blu-ray, DVD, and Digital May 2nd, from Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Written, directed and produced by Oscar®-nominated filmmaker Asghar Farhadi (Best Original Screenplay, “A Separation,” 2011), this riveting tale of love, revenge, and forgiveness stars Taraneh Alidoosti (“Modest Reception,” “About Elly”) and Shahab Hosseini (“A Separation,” “About Elly”) as a young married couple living in Tehran whose lives and relationship are forever altered by an unexpected act of violence. Praised by critics since its debut at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, where it won Best Actor (Hosseini) and Best Screenplay (Farhadi), “The Salesman” was named Best Foreign Language Film by the National Board of Review (USA) and was nominated for a Golden Globe® Award for Best Motion Picture – Foreign Language. Fans of bold and thought-provoking world cinema won’t want to miss the movie critics say “leaves the viewer tense and breathless” (Deborah Young, The Hollywood Reporter). The Blu-ray, DVD and digital releases include a featurette that goes behind-the-scenes with Farhadi as he shares his inspiration for the film and details how the suspenseful plot uncovers hidden truths behind human relationships.

After their old flat becomes damaged, Emad (Hosseini) and Rana (Alidoosti), a young couple living in Tehran, are forced to move into a new apartment. Eventually, an incident linked to the previous tenant of their new home dramatically changes the couple’s life.

“The Salesman” was produced by Alexandre Mallet-Guy (“Louder Than Bombs,” “The Past”) and Asghar Farhadi. Co-producer is Olivier Père (“The Red Turtle,” “Personal Shopper”).

Bonus Material Includes:

  • A Conversation With Writer-Director Asghar Farhadi
