And Kiarostami Goes On

About This Movie

And Kiarostami Goes On is a poignant documentary that captures the raw emotions and reflections in the wake of Abbas Kiarostami's passing. It’s set in the very landscapes that shaped his Koker trilogy, and the atmosphere is heavy with nostalgia and contemplation. The pacing is deliberately slow, almost meditative, allowing viewers to soak in the reactions of local villagers and actors. What stands out is the authenticity—these aren’t scripted performances, but genuine responses from people connected to Kiarostami’s work. You can feel the weight of his legacy in their words and silences. The film feels less like a tribute and more like a communal mourning, a subtle exploration of how art intertwines with life and loss.
