Review

very nicely photographed film that functions as a two hour symbolic story of how kiarostami thinks we live our life. the protagonist comes into the villiage on a winding road not knowing exactly where he is or where he is going. when he gets there he essentially waits for death (though not his own) and spends his time idle and seemingly floating along like a leaf in the wind. it’s a tough movie to get through but the photography and acting help; and when all is said and done it’s a worthwhile film. gets better as you think about it afterwards. to me a sort of “before the law” on film.
