In Reply to: WE CAN SLEEP SAFE -. US denies visa to Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. posted by Harmonia on September 29, 2002 at 14:32:45:
What films of Abbas Kiarostami do you recommend? I've only seen "The Wind Will Carry Us" and thought it was tedious. The director may have intended it to be so, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
Follow Ups:
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.
I've seen "The White Balloon" and enjoyed that one much more than "WWCU", but Kiarostami just wrote that one, didn't direct it. I'll look for "Taste of Cherries". Thanks.
