The TVI Take

A television crew waits in a Kurdish village for an old woman to die so they can film a mourning ritual. Abbas Kiarostami's film is formally exceptional, the long takes and the gap between what we see and what the characters talk about are both precisely deployed.

Educational about Kurdish village culture in Iran.
