that I look like the little girl.

When I was little,

my grandmother...

made me a kimono like that one.

I wonder if there is

indeed some similarity.

I'm not so sure.

It's possible.

You think so?

Can I borrow a pencil?

She used to dress me

with a kimono.

And make me a hair bun

and we used to go

to the celebrations in the village.

With my hair stick.

- Now I see the resemblance.

- Really?

Every day someone tells me...

that I look like someone else.

I didn't really believe

it was me on the painting.

My eyes are bigger,

aren't they?

Indeed.

Do you agree?

Can I?

I think that we

look very much alike.

Who is her?

Mika.

Mika.

And in another photograph...

Can I bring it?

Her.

Who is the woman?

Yoko.

Yoko.

Your wife?

Don't I look

a bit like her?

Probably.

Do you live alone?

Are you a remarkable person?

What do you mean remarkable?

Hiroshi said...

that he really respects you

and that you are a great man.

He said that?

What do you do in your life?

I write and translate books.

Sometimes...

they call me to give some lecture

and other things.

That's why you have

so many books.

You have read them all?

Yes, more or less.

Incredible.

You don't throw them away

after reading them?

No, I need them for my research.

I know a joke related

to books.

I have a friend, Nagisa.

We work together.

She told me the joke.

What do a book and a woman

have in common?

A book and a woman?

In common?

I don't know.

Should I tell you?

I don't dare, I'm shy.

I will tell you a better one.

Also Nagisa told it to me.

Even with very

important people...

she is very comfortable

and speaks freely.

She's sweet and funny.

We get along very well.

I will tell you the joke.

It's a story about two centipedes.

They got married...

and the female...

wants to sleep with the male

on the wedding night.

The male, however,

is very tired...

and asks her for help.

He asks her which legs

should he open.

Why do you laugh?

You told me a joke,

so I laughed.

Every time people laugh.

I don't understand,

where's the joke?

I don't know.

You know. Tell me.

Come to drink some wine, better.

I would like to go

to the toilet first.

- It's at the back.

- May I?

Of course.

What are you doing?

You want to sleep?

Come, food is ready.

We will also drink wine.

I'm sleepy.

I made you a soup.

Specialty of your region.

You will like it for sure.

How do you know where I'm from?

Hiroshi told me.

He told me you are

from the same place.

He also told me the name

of the village, but I forgot.

What do you know Hiroshi from?

He brings you girls?

Yes, it smells like perfume.

Impossible.

Hiroshi and me...

we know each other

Abbas Kiarostami

Abbas Kiarostami (Persian: عباس کیارستمی‎ [ʔæbˌbɒːs kijɒːɾostæˈmi] ( listen); 22 June 1940 – 4 July 2016) was an Iranian film director, screenwriter, poet, photographer and film producer. An active film-maker from 1970, Kiarostami had been involved in over forty films, including shorts and documentaries. Kiarostami attained critical acclaim for directing the Koker trilogy (1987–94), Close-Up (1990), Taste of Cherry (1997) – which was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival that year – and The Wind Will Carry Us (1999). In his later works, Certified Copy (2010) and Like Someone in Love (2012), he filmed for the first time outside Iran: in Italy and Japan, respectively. Kiarostami had worked extensively as a screenwriter, film editor, art director and producer and had designed credit titles and publicity material. He was also a poet, photographer, painter, illustrator, and graphic designer. He was part of a generation of filmmakers in the Iranian New Wave, a Persian cinema movement that started in the late 1960s and includes pioneering directors such as Bahram Beyzai, Nasser Taghvai, Ali Hatami, Masoud Kimiai, Dariush Mehrjui, Sohrab Shahid Saless and Parviz Kimiavi. These filmmakers share many common techniques including the use of poetic dialogue and allegorical storytelling dealing with political and philosophical issues.Kiarostami had a reputation for using child protagonists, for documentary-style narrative films, for stories that take place in rural villages, and for conversations that unfold inside cars, using stationary mounted cameras. He is also known for his use of Persian poetry in the dialogue, titles, and themes of his films. Kiarostami's films contain a notable degree of ambiguity, an unusual mixture of simplicity and complexity, and often a mix of fictional and documentary elements. The concepts of change and continuity, in addition to the themes of life and death, play a major role in Kiarostami's works. more…
