Country: Iran
Directed by Abbas Kiarostami
I am not a big fan of Kiarostami but, well, Close-up is a ground breaking film that really moved the art of cinema one step forward and that's why, even if is at the surface quite humble, it got so much admiration from some of the leading cinematographers around the world. Basically a re-enacted documentary, who blurs the limits between the reality and its staged form, Close-up comments about the human identity that is defined by the social status, about the hardships of the less fortunate in Iranian society, about the role and probably the duty of the artist, about the nature of the cinema itself and the list goes on as the film is impressively rich in content
