{"product_id":"abbas-kiarostami-mehrnaz-saeed-vafa-9780252083518","title":"Abbas Kiarostami: Expanded Second Edition","description":"Before his death in 2016, Abbas Kiarostami wrote or directed more than thirty films in a career that mirrored Iranian cinema's rise as an international force. His 1997 feature \u003ci\u003eTaste of Cherry\u003c\/i\u003e made him the first Iranian filmmaker to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Critics' polls continue to place \u003ci\u003eClose-Up\u003c\/i\u003e (1990) and \u003ci\u003eThrough the Olive Trees\u003c\/i\u003e (1994) among the masterpieces of world cinema. Yet Kiarostami's naturalistic impulses and winding complexity made him one of the most divisive--if influential--filmmakers of his time. \u003cp\u003e In this expanded second edition, award-winning Iranian filmmaker Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa and film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum renew their illuminating cross-cultural dialogue on Kiarostami's work. The pair chart the filmmaker's late-in-life turn toward art galleries, museums, still photography, and installations. They also bring their distinct but complementary perspectives to a new conversation on the experimental film \u003ci\u003eShirin\u003c\/i\u003e. Finally, Rosenbaum offers an essay on watching Kiarostami at home while Saeed-Vafa conducts a deeply personal interview with the director on his career and his final feature, \u003ci\u003eLike Someone in Love\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa, Jonathan Rosenbaum\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0252083512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780252083518\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Illinois Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44829288792319,"sku":"9780252083518","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ee7bc432-307f-4400-a22f-28b484e9c79f.jpg?v=1708450368","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/abbas-kiarostami-mehrnaz-saeed-vafa-9780252083518","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
