If you loved Le goût de la cerise, try Close-up
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
Both films are directed by Abbas Kiarostami, and they both carry the foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Le goût de la cerise, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Close-up is
You wake as Sabzian, a bus-route clerk with two children and mounting debts. You pretend to be Makhmalbaf on a Tehran porch and everything tilts. Then the camera rolls, the real comes undone, and identity folds like paper. Kiarostami’s hybrid blurs the line between life and art, leaving you unsure where one ends and the other begins.
