 Ten, Award winner film by: Kiarostami (DVD)
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 contemporary Iran comes
sharply into focus.
