Ok, this is a film out of Tehran that was apparently made in 2003. Yesterday I was looking through some pamphlets for upcoming schedules for movies and I noticed it placed on several different film festivals. I have no idea if it is archived or if this is a first time release in this country. The premesis from RT is: In TEN, celebrated Iranian writer-director Abbas Kiarostami (Taste of Cherry, Through the Olive Trees) once again casts his masterful cinematic gaze upon the modern sociopolitical landscape of his homeland -- this time as seen through the eyes of one woman as she drives through the streets of Tehran over a period of several days. Her journey is comprised of ten conversations with various female passengers -- including her sister, a hitchhiking prostitute and a jilted bride -- as well as her imperious young son. As Kiarostami's "dashboard cam" eavesdrops on these lively, yet heart-wrenching road trips, a complex portrait of distaff Iran comes sharply into focus. It sounds quite interesting and has gotten very good reviews. 88% of 49 reviews (7.3/10) and 95% Cream of the Crop (7.6/10). I can't learn more about it though. I couldn't find it on IMDB (I must be searching wrong) and found it on RT. I'm wondering if anyone else can tell me more about it. I got the feeling from the write-ups that it was "hidden" camera and that this was unsuspected footage, but on the other hand it feels like a scripted scenario, so might be a mockumentary style movie. That's pretty complex of a film genre. Anyone who about it? |
