A Close-up of Abbas Kiarostami
February 8 - 17, 2013
The marriage of a tax collector accused of taking bribes and his emotionally alienated wife (Shohreh Aghdashloo in one of her first screen roles) is in deep crisis.
During a period in his career focused on children and their deceptively complicated lives, Kiarostami pivots his camera to the lives of a married couple. The husband is woefully beset with problems, seemingly everywhere he looks. As a tax collector, he’s already burdened with unenviable tasks and responsibilities.

The film features Shohreh Aghdashloo in one of her first screen roles.
