OCU Film Series - A Separation
January 27th 2013 2:00pm - 5:00pm at OCU Meinders School of Business
The Foreign Language Oscar winner of last year as well as one of the most acclaimed films of recent years, “A Separation” is from Iran, the country that was most requested on last year’s film series evaluations. The plot involves a married couple that confronts a difficult decision—to improve the life of their child by moving to another country or to stay in Iran and look after a deteriorating parent who has Alzheimer\'s disease. NPR called it “a constant surprise, a film that captures the drama and suspense of real life as urgently as any picture released this year.”The theme of this year’s film series is “Escape From Freedom,” borrowed from the title of a book by social theorist Erich Fromm. The book describes Fromm’s theories of humanity’s views on freedom and what the world is like without it. The book will be available for purchase at all film screenings in the series.
