(2011 dir. Abbas Kiarostami) Date Seen: March 23 2011

Exhilarating in form, style, and theme.. And that's before we even get into Binoche and Shimell's subtle performances. 

Rarely are films this romantic about the nature of art. I only wish fellow Iranian auteur Jafar Panahi was making films this good in Europe too, so he would be safe away from the clutches of his evil government that has literally imprisoned him... 

Easily Kiarostami's best work since 1990's CLOSE-UP!
