A
Tehranian photo-journalist (Behzad Dorani), masquerading as a telephone
engineer, travels to a remote hillside village to document an ancient funereal
ritual, but finds his underhanded methods frustrated both by the old woman’s
inconvenient reluctance to die and the unbounding hospitality of the local populace, in
Kiarostami’s wittily thought-provoking and humanity-drenched culture clash
comedy-drama. A strong central performance and a thoughtful script, presented
with the Iranian auteur’s trademark formal audacity (against a quite wonderful
backdrop), combine to delightfully lyrical, decidedly brilliant effect.
