Has anyone here seen the Iranian film Close-Up (1990)?
 

Saw it the other night. Absolutely remarkable film.

I highly recommend it.

It's in the MoFo Top 100 of the '90s that is currently running.

I haven't seen it myself yet.

I see.

Sight and Sound also listed it as one of the top fifty films of all time.

They're crazy but hip. :)

Yes its remarkable and imo a masterpiece... They are showing it in my local arthouse cinema later this month :D

Abbas Kiarostamis other films are also very good. He is one of my favorite directors still making films today!

Thanks for the recommendation

I've seen two of his films so far and I'll stick to another kind of Iranian cinema...

I have only seen three of his films and I enjoyed Close-Up. I preferred Taste Of Cherry and Certified Copy though. I love his style. Character, dialogue driven films but the mystery to his characters and their relationships is what really has made me connect with his films. I'm dying to see Like Someone In Love. I feel like I have been waiting a year for a DVD release date.

I first saw "Taste of Cherry" (10/10) and I believe Camo suggested "Close-Up" which I liked a lot too, very innovative.
