With his use of non-actors and his loose use of documentary rules, Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami's (TASTE OF CHERRY) films can often be characterized by asking whether what the viewer is seeing is reality or fiction. The film which perhaps most exemplifies this is CLOSE-UP, ostensibly a documentary about an impostor of another Iranian director, Mohsen Makhmalbaf (GABBEH; ONCE UPON A TIME, CINEMA). Kiarostami tells the story by asking questions from off-screen to those involved in the legal case, then having the participants play themselves in a re-enactment of the events which actually occurred. A masterwork, considered by many to be Kiarostami's best.

Abbas Kiarostami isn't quite ready for his Close-Up

Pros: Great premise....

Cons: .... but the wrong execution.

The Bottom Line: Close-Up drains much of the excitement out of a fascinating story.

This reviewer does not recommend this product.

Review: Close-Up contains what I think is a great and hilarious premise. The fact it is based on a true story only makes the idea even more amusing. The story involves a guy who is an impostor: he pretends to be the Iranian director Moshen Makhmalbaf (A...
