Abbas Kiarostami
3 titles · global slow cinema
The line between documentary and fiction deliberately unmarked. Kiarostami films long drives, non-professionals and recursive premises in which a film is being made about the film we are watching.
Signature
- Extended conversations shot inside moving cars.
- Non-professionals playing versions of themselves.
- Self-reflexive structures collapsing fiction into document.
- Rural Iranian landscape and switchback roads.
