“At once a compelling human story and an utterly fresh piece of moviemaking, the picture reconfirms [director] Kiarostami's growing reputation as one of world film's most original talents.” - Christian Science Monitor
“The film has a remarkable austerity and starkness….It is Kiarostami's greatest film.” - The Guardian
Winner of the Palme d’Or (top prize) at the Cannes Film Festival.
