Close Up Review

Close up by, Kiariostami is practically a half documentary, and the other half was actually legitimately a movie. During this film, the concept of this film being portrayed in this way, was something that I was not personally a fan of. Ok so, during the film a guy is impersonating famous Iranian movie director Mohsen Makmalbaf when given a chance to do so on a bus ride. This impersonating game goes too far and ends up in court suspected of fraud. This is based on a real story and Abbas Kiarostami got unto this quite early on. The film shows a great deal of love towards Sabzian, and everyone else involved in the case that occured in the film. Astonishingly  to think that after the trial was over, they all agreed to participate in the reenactments of earlier events. Overall for this film, I was not really a huge fan. The way how the movie was portrayed and given out, kinda confused me. Especially with the movie basically being a documentary. Raising some of my eyebrows, it is probably a film that I would watch again, regardless of the fact that this film expressed unique styles of film that would possibly open the eyes of other viewers.
