On the Road with Kiarostami

About This Movie

On the Road with Kiarostami is a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of cinema's greats. The film captures Kiarostami as he wanders beyond the confines of Tehran, sharing candid thoughts about his craft and artistic philosophy. There's a casual, almost intimate vibe to the interviews—like you're eavesdropping on a conversation between old friends. The pacing feels unhurried, reflective, which really suits the themes of memory and the passage of time. When he reconnects with Babk Ahmadpoor, the young star from the earlier films, it adds layers to their shared history. It's these personal touches and Kiarostami's gentle storytelling that really set this documentary apart. Not flashy, but rich in nuance and connection.
