About Elly

Iranian writer and director Asghar Farhadi breathes new life into Iranian cinema with this thriller about a group of friends whose trip to the Caspian sea turns into a nightmare. Golshifteh Farahani (Body of Lies) stars as Sepideh who invites her colleague Elly (Taraneh Alidoosti) to a weekend trip in the hopes of matching her to a friend. What starts as a pleasant journey ends up as a tragedy where secret and lies threatens Sepideh and her relations to her family and friends. Farhadi along with a talented cast and crew gives a glimpse of contemporary life in Iran besides a terrific film. YRCinema's coverage of upcoming releases.
