Ten (2002)
Country: FR/IR
Technical: col 93m
Director: Abbas Kiarostami
Cast: Mania Akbari, Amin Maher
Synopsis:
Ten conversations in a car, most between a mother and her son or sister, but some with passers-by she picks up.
Review:
The camera remains resolutely on the dashboard, directed at one participant or the other, save for one discreet parting shot of the prostitute. The wider world is reduced to the scenery flashing by outside the windows and the reactions and comments of the speakers. Thus Kiarostami forces us to be more observant of the information we are given; the effect is one of concentration rather than monotony.
