In Kiarostami's furiously clear view, religious dogma suppresses the eye's observations through the dictate of the word; his calmly unwavering images, with their wry humor and generous sympathy, have the force of a steadfast resistance.

The meanings of Close-Up shift, subtly and profoundly, with every viewing; the only certainty is that its rewards are boundless.

Kiarostami's film has artichoke-like layers which, once peeled, are forever resonant.

Kiarostami has made a film that looks into the heart of a man accused of a crime and, instead of evil, discovers only sweetness, longing and a sad confusion.

Apr 10, 2017Blending fiction and reality in ways that make it a unique experience, Kiarostami creates a fascinating piece of fiction-documentary hybrid that reveals always more and more about its characters and Iranian society (including social issues) than we could imagine to be possible.Carlos M Super Reviewer

Jul 22, 2013Close-up, just wow. An absolutely stunning film. This is a movie that questions fiction and reality. It's not fully a mockumentary, but is the best mockumentary in the scenes that qualify as one. It's a chilling movie, that's not only essential as far as how much of the small stuff it taught me on film, including some Iranian titles, but it makes a great statement about pretending and true identity. I've been left speechless by the movie, usually if I love a film this much I can ramble on about it, but this film speaks for itself. One of the greatest of the 90s, and a gem of middle eastern cinema. This is also the first new movie in 132 watches that I've given over 4 stars.Daniel D Super Reviewer

Jan 25, 2013<i>Nema-ye Nazdik</i> is Kiarostami's highest peak of excellence and vision. Few times have the realms of reality and fiction been mixed so interestingly. The debate surrounding whether it is a documentary or not is irrelevant. First, we must reach a consensus on what is a "documentary" (the filming and representation of reality), and then, to personally stipulate our definition of "reality". This film tells a true story with the real people involved in it, but re-shot for artistic purposes, or basically, what Sabzian was saying on trial: in honor of the art. Kiarostami understood this fully and still, very intelligently, shown an unclear posture towards Sabzian's character while stating his love for films. It is Kieslowski's <i>Amator</i> but reversed, that is, suppose that Filip Mosz could never buy his precious camera... 97/100Edgar C Super Reviewer
