5.0 out of 5 stars A desire to be embraced, 7 Feb 2004
By Afsaneh Mirfendereski (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Kiarostami captures the deep desire to simply be accepted, of a down trodden man who takes recourse to pretending to be a famous film-maker to achieve, albeit for a few days, a sense of being embraced by society.
Tehran is the backdrop, with the social dvisions resulting in pain that goes beyond the material, almost Dickensian.
As is typical of Kiarostami's films, the majority of the roles are played by non-actors, in this case by the actual persons involved in the true life tale . From the family that our pretend filmaker tries to con, to the real filmaker in person, Mohsen Makhmalbaf.
A touching journey of desire, fabrication and remorse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kiarostami reminds us of humanity, 2 Sep 2002
This review is from: Close-Up [VHS] [1990] (VHS Tape)
kiarostami captures undisputedly the essence of man's existence in this life. we spend so much of our lives competing against each other for material gains that we lose ourselves. what must remain is humanity. initially the story takes a while to grasp. because it is shot in part/dramatisation part/documentary the story takes on a realness but also a staged performance. anyway kiarostami captures the spirit of human kindness and understanding. forgiving the human capability to make mistakes from our relation to society. touching from beginning to end in a most unsentimental & unpretentious way.
