Close-Up

"I admire him for the films he's given society and the suffering he portryas in his films. He spoke for me and depicted my suffering." ughh ♡♡
Another banger from Kiarostami, def my 2nd fav film of his.
Absolutely loved the authenticity and the constant raw mix of docu-drama.

"For me, art is the experience of what you've felt inside."

A lot of good messages in this film & noteworthy lines (“Art is the inner experience cultivated by the artist and conveyed to his audience”). It’s objectively a good movie.
(Personally tho, not for me. I lowkey didn’t fw the ending & it was kinda boring.)

Such an interesting movie, It’s a movie by which I think sympathises with the main character. Probably not a film most people would be intrigued by. The camera placement the silence and the color tones of this film makes me feel like I’m there, it moves realistic, which i like.

Why did I watch this three times? Well, if you haven’t, you haven’t really seen it.

Even more incredible on rewatch.
