Long takes, long dialogs in Persian that seem deceivingly improvised in the sense of being completely natural, the occasional distant look at a Land Rover on a winding dirt road in the midst of dry, dusty and yet majestic hills. Everything works as though it would be hypnosis of a kind. If you don't identify with the characters, with the pattern of thought walked by the film you surely will. It works like a good 'Dogme' movie, although influences most likely worked the other way around.
The story is about a man's quest for something, for something instead of nothing, in a battle against convictions including the one of his own. In this wonderful film by Kiarostami change comes slowly but clearly, change for the characters, change for you. And the story has several layers of meaning, each enjoyable on its own. Check out the comment by 'alex-187' - Kiarostami manages to say a lot, from a country where one is certainly not allowed to say everything.
