About Elly Blu-ray Posted July 8, 2015 04:53 PM by



The Cinema Guild has officially announced that it will release on Blu-ray director Asghar Farhadi's film About Elly (2009), starring Golshifteh Farahani, Shahab Hosseini, and Taraneh Alidoosti. The release will be available for purchase on August 18.



Synopsis: From the Academy Award winning director of A Separation comes this gripping mystery set among a group of old friends on a holiday retreat.



With the return of their close friend Ahmad from Germany, a group of old college pals decide to reunite for a weekend outing by the Caspian Sea. The fun starts right away as they quickly catch on to the plan of lively Sepideh, who has brought along Elly, her daughter's kindergarten teacher, in hopes of setting her up with recently divorced Ahmad. But seemingly trivial lies, which start accumulating from the moment the group arrives at the seashore, suddenly swing round and come back full force when one afternoon Elly suddenly vanishes. Her mysterious disappearance sets in motion a series of deceptions and revelations that threaten to shatter everything they hold dear.
