by Julian Rice (Author)

This book focuses on revolutionary filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami's opposition to war, his eclectic spirituality, and the symbolic texture of his cinema which is more attuned to poetic than philosophical interpretation. It covers the most-up-to-date films, with a focus on thematic continuity within and between individual films.
