In Reply to: Re: WE CAN SLEEP SAFE -. US denies visa to Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. posted by Ears on September 29, 2002 at 15:12:39:
The first film of of Kiarostami's I saw was The White Balloon - terrible trailer, good film. The other I saw is Taste of Cherries, the film that won the Golden Palm at Cannes. That was an interesting film, with an unusual and humane take on, er, suicide. (It wasn't boring or depressing, honest.) Although Taste of Cherries has a somewhat deliberate pacing - you can't be in a hurry -it's ultimately an endearing character study - the ending will reward you. (I confess, having read the synposis of WWCU, I haven't been anxious to get a hold of the DVD.+ His new film, Ten, sounds more interesting.
Kiarostami may still not be your cuppa. But I'd start with WHite Balloon and maybe give him another shot.
