Why was the film's name changed after Berlin?
After Berlin, I thought that for the foreign market, it was better if it was just A Separation. In Iran, I have kept the original title.
If I had only used the word separation (judaai) in Persian, it would have had too much of a sentimental connotation. And I didn't want that sentimentality to be the part of the title. But the same conversation happened in Iran where people said 'You call it a separation of Nader and Simin, but it is a separation of so many other things.'
Incidentally, the names Nader and Simin mean something in Persian. Nader means rare and Simin means something very valuable, very precious like gold. It would therefore mean separating the precious from the rare. - DirectorPouran DerakhshandehStarsMehran AhmadiPantea BahramAzar FaramarziReihaneh experiences a horrible nightmare.
