Zire darakhatan zeyton (1994)
Without a doubt, it is a fundamental film in the history of contemporary cinema.
Through the Olive Trees is the wonderful work that led me to discover the great Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami. It is a film full of poetry, it is subtle, it is profound, it is charged with the rural social context of his country of origin and it has shades of humour.
For me it is one of his best works because it highlights his great work with non-professional actors.
The majestic composition of the shots and the internal timing of each one of them, makes the film a lesson in cinema for anyone.
It is also a mise en abyme of filmmaking itself.
Without a doubt, it is a fundamental film in the history of contemporary cinema.
