Critic argued · Iran → Japan

My generation, when we started making films, Ken Loach and Kiarostami were big influences. Kiarostami's Where is the Friend's House? made me think about the relationship between reality and fiction, and also about what cinema means, what it is possible to achieve. And And Life Goes On made me realize what it means to keep shooting and looking for things. He really broadened my scope, the way I thought about film.
