I am a person who is very interested in art, and I have seen a lot of movies since I was a child. ...It's hard to play the director, despite my confidence and the respect they gave me, the hospitality they gave me...Before this, no one would have followed me to do these things because I was poor. But I pretend to be a celebrity and they will do what I say. But I left their house and I went back to the old me, it was night and when I took the money I realized I was still the old Sabjian......

"Pretending to be a director is itself a kind of performance" The real perception of the characters in the film may be an important part of the story of the characters that moved Abbas, so Abbas decided to "shoot" this "movie". Complete the "movie dream" of the actor and the...

There are two clips of flowers in the movie: the first time the reporter's driver accidentally picked up the flowers from the roadside while waiting for arrest, and the second time the director and the protagonist bought them to thank the plaintiff. The two casual brushstrokes happened to be portraits of people at the bottom like the male protagonist, who were passionate about art but could not overcome poverty and class. The flowers that were abandoned on the roadside were always collected and...

Is there a so-called "real movie"? Using the form of a documentary film and the skills of a drama film, showing the story of a fake director and a real actor, mixing court records with the on-site restoration of the parties, a French-speaking column drama has become a masterpiece that explores the core of the film. "The film finally Abbas' remarks are true; in this era of short videos where everyone can make films, the question of film ontology raised by the film is still very...

Sincerity and simplicity are the most authoritative endorsements of Abbas, and a large number of facial close-ups are Abbas' most lethal emotional release; the work combines the reproduction of the original scene of the actor playing himself with the record of the trial, confusing the false and the real, and also combining The plot/documentary uses unique and novel shooting techniques to truly reflect the current situation, desires and pursuits of poverty and class differences in Iran. The...

The best thing about Abbas's film is that it makes it hard to tell whether it is a documentary or a feature film. This is "truth". "Xili" from Iran is reluctant to play himself in a single thought. He feels that it is better to play a famous director and can give him more confidence. If you want to make a movie, you need to do a full set, and you don't know "close-up", so you want to take the role of a famous director to make a movie. If you want to be a director, you just become an actor. The...

It's a drama. Tired of playing himself as a poor man, fell into the dream of a movie. But in the process of watching it, you will keep discovering, how can it be so real, how can it be so real, the director ran out, and Makmalbaf ran out, ah, it turns out that everyone is real. They literally recreated the whole case, and even the movie dream described by "Makmalbaf" came true (for himself or the family). The movie is like a dream, and I don't know if it's a real...

SIFF2017, using black and white and color pictures to separate different events. A discussion of "performance". The exploration of "self": how to act as oneself and how not to. The sadness of the little people, the desire to gain basic respect and the right to speak, so that after obtaining it, he will continue to fake and act like a demon. Then there are a lot of close-ups, flowers, roads, noises, silences, and...
