Kiarostami’s 1990 kinda doc kinda fiction exploration of filmmaking ethics, artistic desire, reasonable fraudulence, economic disparity and a whole lot else. How great is it to see something truly one of a kind? I am buzzing.
I love abbas kiarostami’s films. he really captures the beauty in storytelling and filmmaking. my favourites are close-up and taste of cherry. mubi has some of his work. he’s incredible.
It’s hard to describe Theo Anthony’s films and do them justice. This one focuses on cameras, bias, and perception but like all his films, it is so much more than the sum of its parts
Not every idea is a good idea. But maybe a small part of it is, or maybe it can grow into one, or maybe it will lead to the next good idea, or maybe you just need to get all those lousy ideas out of the way so the good ones have room to breathe. Or maybe it just feels good to write and this fixation on good vs bad ideas is the thing that’s in the way.
