"Ten"
2003
Directed by Abbas Kiarostami

A daring experiment from celebrated Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami, Ten uses a small digicam planted on the dashboard of a moving car to explore issues of sex, divorce, love, and religion through a series of conversations between driver and passenger. Subtle expressions and chance compositions elevate Kiarostami's study from a formal experiment to a humanistic tour-de-force, "capable of changing the ways you look at the movies - and at life" (Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune). Farsi with English subtitles.  90 minutes.
