Lover
Abbas under the olive tree! Documentary style! Off-screen play!
What more can be said, Abbas! Don't say anything, just watch. I haven't heard anyone who doesn't like an Abbas movie.
When I first came into contact with Abbas' films, I was moved by his purity and sincerity. In my opinion, he is not a pure artistic director, but he is definitely a director full of love, and one who understands film art very well. People, even if they can't reach the status of an artist in this life, will never give up the pursuit of film art, as if he will never compromise on commercial blockbusters. Abbas, who pursues essential films, I think his principles are more artistic than his films!

    In addition to the fresh and unpretentious love, the movie can be regarded as Abbas's re-exposition of the boundary between virtual and real after "Close-up". At the end, the fascinating long-range lens adds vividness and romance to the humor caused by the indiscretion of reality and fiction. It is a scene I would imagine countless times when I climbed high places. At this moment, the lens replaced my gaze. Four and a half stars.

    It is best for scholars to marry illiterate people, rich people to marry poor people, and landlords who have no homes... The last scene poeticizes the earth.
