"The reason so many of (ahem) _my_ films have lengthy driving scenes is because I love the way Kiarostami shot people in cars." You mean out of focus? 1:17
Some ‘not very nice’ comments here from people ignorant of (and absolutely uninterested in) the filmmaker himself and what you have so say about him, and by way of the (merest) introduction to a filmmaker little known, if at all, in the USA-we have such strong top-down prejudices directed towards Iran by OUR Great Leader, you see, who is Making America Grate Again as I type these words, that it extends to a dismissive attitude toward anyone who might make an olive-branch gesture in the form short tribute film-you have done well. And from another who loves Kiarastomi (and his extraordinary influence) you would be first, I’m sure, to agree that there is so much more to him than could conveyed in a brief essay or your sort-and even room to disagree, but not quite argue, because the conversations about the films have (inevitably) opened me to unseen walks and unshared insights that inform and change my next viewing, such that his work is like taking a familiar walk, day after day, but always noticing new pleasures or distractions along the route. And I appreciate what you’ve done here. My tears today-as Trump tears up the JPCOA and announces his intent to make sanctions and, at all costs, war on Iran with Benjamin Betanyahu’s braying from the sidelines (because he is the consummate cowardly liar)- for this country, the USA, and for Israel, a place where Kiarostami is still a virtual unknown.
