...and that's OK. As I said, Kiarostami's is not a style that everyone can embrace. The narrative is elliptical, and the sotires are not based on "plot". You have to come to it at his pace. But the vast majority of film critics and scholars consider him one of the greatest living directors...so please don't dismiss because you don't like or don't get.

I would suggest, since you're wtiring about film, that some day some way you try a couple of the other films from different directors discussed above.

Please, just don't dismiss Iranian cinema, especially in reviews. There's a big difference between an oevre not being your cuppa and something just not being very good.
