A event held at The Cube on Sunday 20th April. The event starts at 19:30.
"A perfect film."
--Greta Gerwig
"Every scene ... is overflowing with beauty and surprise, patiently and exquisitely captured."
--Martin Scorsese
The film that first clued the world into the fact that something special was happening in Iranian cinema, Abbas Kiarostami's Where is the Friend's House? is an unmissable gem of world cinema and one of the greatest films about childhood ever made. If you're not yet hooked on the films of the Iranian masters Kiarostami, Makhmalbaf, Panahi et al, you will be after this!
The first film in Kiarostami’s sublime, interlacing trilogy of films set in the northern Iranian village of Koker takes a premise of fable-like simplicity — a boy searches for the home of his classmate whose school notebook he has accidentally taken — and transforms it into a miraculous, child’s-eye adventure of the everyday.
As our young hero zigzags determinedly across two towns aided (and sometimes misdirected) by those he encounters, his quest becomes both a revealing portrait of Iranian society in all its richness and complexity.
Shot through with all the wonder, beauty, tension, and mystery one day can contain, Where is the Friend’s House? established Kiarostami’s reputation as one cinema’s most sensitive and profound humanists.
