Michael Moore is the most famous filmmaker in Iran, according to one of that nation’s most acclaimed directors. At a screening of Asghar Farhadi’s critically lauded “A Separation” at Sony’s screening room, the Iranian director spotted the “Fahrenheit 9/11” filmmaker in the audience. Farhadi quipped, “Michael Moore is the most famous director in Iran,” and said everyone knows his movies because they’re shown on national TV there. “[Farhadi] then joked how difficult it was for his own films to be seen in Iran,” our source added. Also there were CBS’s Bob Simon, Kristin Gore, producer Celine Rattray, “Boardwalk Empire” star Michael Stuhlbarg and James Toback. Farhadi has been the toast of New York this week, winning best foreign film awards from the New York Film Critics Circle and National Board of Review. “A Separation” is also getting Oscar buzz and has a flawless 100 percent “fresh rating” on review site Rotten Tomatoes. Moore didn’t respond to a request for comment
