Through The Olive Trees

(Abbas Kiarostami, 1994, Iran/France, 35mm, 103 min)
The final Koker film, this time with Kiarostami recreating the (real-life? fictional?) romantic problems arising between two cast members during the filming of And Life Goes On... It is fascinating both as a warm-but-wry tale of life, love and the cinema, and as a multi-layered interweaving of related narratives. At one point we even see two actors playing Kiarostami surrogates and talking to one another!
