"Life and Nothing More"
1992
Directed by Abbas Kiarostami
The film investigates
the aftermath of a devastating 1990 earthquake which killed some 50,000 people in northern
Iran. This region provided the setting for Kiarostami's Where Is the Friend's Home.
Kiarostami's search for the two young actors who played central roles in that film becomes
the dramatic source of Life and Nothing More
as a father and son travel to
Quoker, the hometown of the two boys, and along the way meet earthquake survivors who
desperately and valiantly work to reconstruct their lives. "
in many ways the
most beautiful and powerful Iranian film I've seen" (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago
Reader). Farsi with English subtitles.
91 minutes. |
