The Voyeur's Dilemma: When Truth and Fiction Blur Asghar Farhadi, a master filmmaker known for nuanced explorations of human relationships and moral complexities, has long been fascinated by the act of observation.
His new film, Parallel Tales, is an ambitious attempt to probe the boundaries between truth and fiction but ultimately falls short in its execution.
The project's genesis lies in Farhadi's loose adaptation of Dekalog 6, Krzysztof Kieślowski's 1988 masterpiece about a young Warsaw post office worker's all consuming love affair with his neighbor.
