Kiarostami - Interview

[@Toracube]

I just saw Taste of Cherry. I didn't know anything about him until someone recently recommended him. The guy's amazing.

[@kokilaben969]

Im watching it now🤣

[@AK-bc9ti]

@@kokilaben969I just watched it 🤣

[@necessarily]

He sees so much. A filmmaker to be proud, in some ways honored to have watched. This interview betoken great depth on the part a film giant, alas not well-known in the world outside Persia.

[@drawwithme6634]

A profoundly spiritual man

[@pouyasa]

The best Iranian director ever!

[@kitaek70]

Thoughtful words from a great artist, thank you.

[@_dnk]

Aaaaaand adding this to my favorites!

[@hareemaz]

beautiful! what he said greatly touched me!

[@fabihafaiza648]

14 years later! Maestro!

[@itgetseasierlessitry]

His films are proof that he is true to his vision and what he says here. "Close Up" is a masterclass in understated direction: there is a scene in it inwhich the protaganist is pardoned in court, and you end up crying even though there is no monologue or swelling music to manipulate the emotions so loved by Hollywood. Abbas is more articulate here: when I saw him being interviewed with Mike Leigh a few years back, both of them made for a rather miserable monosyllabic double act- sorry to say.

[@Flea817]

These words dance like the camera angles in his films.

[@سمفونیآزادی]

انسانی بزرگ و قابل احترام ..چیزی که تو ایران امروز بسیار انگشت شماره

[@DionysionProduction]

thank you very much for this. Been looking for this interview. there is more to it, right?

[@tokeburns]

what an intelligent man

[@coldbacon303]

yea. it's on the taste of cherry DVD.

[@reasonableskeptic]

Very insightful person.

[@Chronosfarsi]

ERROR: COMPLETELY WRONG SUBTITLE!

[@abhaymishra30]

Chronos کرونوس Yeah, i dont speak farsi but hindi, but zendegi (life) is a common word, and when he says zendegi it doesnt show life many times in the subtitles

[@polymatheace]

No it isn't. The timing is off but it's almost spot on, and if it were a word for word translation it would come off a bit weird.

[@lyricsfromsweden]

What's a good film to start with if you haven't seen any Kiarostami film?

[@PinoyAbnoy]

lyricsfromsweden if i were u i'd start with chronological order or start with where is friend home and so on

[@lyricsfromsweden]

PinoyAbnoy Too late haha, I've already seen Taste of Cherry which I loved. I plan on watching Tickets next.

[@یوسفجابلو]

where is friend house

[@AriyanVelayati-zs1rp]

Close up

[@dipankarbariad]

would anyone please let me know the actual source of this interview , that is to say when and where it is taken to whom he is talking ... these are very much important ...please provide the full info about this interview >

[@threshmaverick2417]

This is an incredibly late response but I decided to reply anyway for other people to see. This is a 1997 interview conducted by Iranian scholar Jamsheed Akrami.

[@lastsolfa]

sorry to break this into you, but the translation is really inaccurate.

[@Aidannadiaaidan]

Mr. Kiarostami, could you please tell me the purpose behind your creation of the film: Shirin (2008)? I don't understand the woman's expression at 6:18 in the film; is it a look of longing for the protagonist of the film on screen, or is it a look of subtle disgust at the fact that she's being filmed watching what appears to be pornography? Thank you for your time, sir, I really appreciate the films you have created for the people of Persia, the United States, and NOWHERE ELSE

[@abhaymishra30]

Aidan Dolik Sorry to break it to you, he passed away 2 years ago

[@CannibalWHORE22]

Charolastra Unfortunately he commented this 6 years ago when the director was still with us. Very disheartening to think he was still here and now he is not! ☹️

[@afoula]

no translation is accurate.
