66. Beautiful City (2004) - Asghar Farhadi

Not much on Youtube about this movie - although the full movie is available there with Spanish subtitles.

As a one-off movie I would probably choose Close-Up. If you wanted to get into him more I'd start with the first of his "Koker" trilogy, Where is the Friend's Home?, and then watch Life & Nothing More and Through the Olive Trees.

His non-Iranian films are good too - Certified Copy & Like Someone in Love (Japanese).
