kandahar was trash. it almost seemed like a cheap michael moore kinda crap thing. i didn't even realize it was a makhmalbaf until just now, actually.

but i guess the only other of his i've seen was a moment of innocence, which i found quietly whimsical, with a nod to godard or something.

blablablblabla why am i even posting on this thread?

Haha. There were a few mentions of S.M. being "glamorous" in the various reports from Cannes. I see what they mean. It's certainly in contrast to her films.

I suppose this is the kind of thing that Kiarostami is trying to deal with when he includes himself (or a surrogate) in his films--the odd relationship between Westernized, well-off artistic elites from Teheran making films about uneducated, impoverished people in remote areas of Iran.
