This is my favorite film about making a film. Not a single false moment, and towards the end I felt more for the actors having to repeat their scenes over and over rather than the director. What a remarkable find Hossein turned out to be. And I loved Mrs. Shiva’s character, too.
Kiarostami has created a wonderful Chinese Box trilogy with Where is My Friends House?, And Life Goes On…, and Through The Olive Trees. Please release this trilogy on DVD, Criterion.
