Movie Review: This is art...
Summary: 5 Stars
Three men arrive to a small mountain village in Iran where they are on a secret assignment, to await a woman's death who is over 100 years old and record the ritual ceremony of the death. As they anticipate the death of the woman, the leader of the group begins to explore the extraordinary village and the residents of the village. This exploration becomes a cultural voyage of rural Iran and a simultaneous self-exploration into his own heart while he keeps in contact with civilization with his cellular phone, which can only be used on higher grounds. Kiarostami grasps the moment of each scene with the same detail as Michelangelo painted the Sistine Chapel ceiling and leaves the audience with a result to amaze and ponder.Movie Review: The Wind Carries This
Summary: 5 Stars
Once again Abbas Kiarostami shows the world how simple it is to make a great film if you are a great filmmaker. This film is a typical Kiarostami film, slow paced but at the same time deeply rich and complex through well exectuted symbolism. It is a film that explores the relationship between contemporary and traditional societies in Iran realized through the placement of a small film crew from Tehran into a small countryside village. They wait for the death of a village elder to begin their work on the film. As the film progresses it becomes less clear whether this elder will pass on and they begin to question their own place. It is possibly the most beautiful film I have ever experienced and I recommend it highly.Movie Review: The master does not stumble
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of Kiarostami's simplest films, and consequently one of his best. What is unseen and unsaid and unshown is central to the movie. The tension comes from waiting. Watching a movie like this, one is in the hands of a wise, patient man, who lets his characters tell their own stories. If you are not patient, or you want sex and violence, you will not like it.Movie Review: Kiarostami's Finest?
Summary: 5 Stars
This film may be the finest of Kiarostami's great output. It is gorgeously photographed, combines a wry sense of humor with a very serious critique of the sophisticated city dweller's alienation from life and death, and ends with a statement of simple wisdom. I cannot recommend it too highly!Movie Review: Space
Summary: 5 Stars
Kiarostami constructs and uses space better than any living filmmaker. It is extrordinary, and subtle, in this film.
