    This is film making refined to a point where only metaphors remain, which can be read in the landscape, particularly the road to the cemetery along which the leader of the mysterious visitors races so that he can use his mobile phone: the message is that

    Pointless + very boring.

    I am very keen on foreign arthouse films. But this was extremely boring. The whole film seemed to be based around a man trying to get reception for his mobile phone in the countryside! The scenery was quite stunning though. But the storyline was way over my head!

    Treason

    What hacked me off as an Iranian person is that Mr Abbas Kiarostami (director) has a knack for finding some remote, under privileged, old villages and he does what he does best, pointing out all the miseries and dark cultural facts in his movies, hoping that french festivals would take pity on him and send him home with a poxy reward.

    In his films he sends out a negative message and a wrong image about Iran and it's rich culture to the world and unfortunately a lot of reviewers tend to believe what they see on the box.

    I am not going to stop anyone from watching this movie but please bear in mind that what you see is not what is really happening in Iran.
