If you loved The Wind Will Carry Us, try Through the Olive Trees
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Abbas Kiarostami, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Wind Will Carry Us, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Through the Olive Trees is
A movie about making a movie about making a movie, so at least one of them might work out. A director recasts a scene with a young man opposite a woman from his past, and the line between performance and reality gets sticky. The romance never quite catches fire, but the awkward silence afterward feels oddly earned.
