Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami discusses his filmmaking techniques.

Deborah Young

Variety

The connections [Kiarostami] makes between his cinema and Italian neo-realism will interest scholars, students and fledgling directors.

New York Times

A tediously didactic, often condescendingly reductive 10-part lesson on cinema.

Rated: 1.5/5

Village Voice

Less illuminating than pedantic, as well as tediously self-absorbed.

Insofar as Kiarostami's comments are accurate, they are rather elementary, and insofar as they leave out pressing questions, they leave out the most pressing.

His approach to filmmaking is highly individualistic, though much of his individual style is an adaptation to the constraints of making films in Iran.

Rated: 6/10

Even the most loyal fans of the Iranian master won't want to pass up the chance to see this.

I would like to begin by stating that Kiarostami was the dude of Iranian childhood cinema - i would in fact refer to him as 'the one man Sesame Street of Iran' - I am however very sorry to say that this documentary is just long winded i.e. sticking a camera in a car and recording people can be as interesting as watching paint dry. Kiarostami if you ever come across this review take your sun-shades off and read my words -- This documentary made me cringe -- its not that I dont understand what you are attempting to portray about Iranian society, even though i find you quite condescending, but instead its just the case that you lost my interest. I admit i have a short attention span, however, theoretically you could have cut and edited the best bits out this documentary and made it into a 10 minute you-tube video. This is nothing more than a final year university project. If I was a smeg-head college professor I would have given you an A++++.. Sadly however I am nothing more than a mere plebeian and have made the decision to gauge out my eyes...
