A serious piece of film-making this one is. If one is the kind that cant take 5 minutes of meaningless silence and dry monologues, kindly walk away.The faces are haunting, the scenery as well and most importantly, the story. Contemplating death is a personal issue. But here, the protagonist seeks compassion in his steadfast confusion and thats how the movie unwinds.
The director probably was contemplating death himself, considering what he was trying to make and where he was trying to make it.
There are some good reviews on the net: 1, 2 and an interview with Abbas Kiarostami
