Overview

For 25 years, Samadian traveled with Kiarostami and recorded their journeys. He now turns that footage into a film in the spirit of Kiarostami's own films, arranging within it the secret keys to the beauty and mystery of his films. Ten stories, ten journeys unfold, using the ‘car’ and the ‘road’ as motifs. What does it mean to be on the road with Kiarostami?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A meditative essay on cinema and companionship, built from decades of intimate footage shot on the road with the late master filmmaker. It's less biography than a tender reflection on what it means to create and witness art alongside someone you deeply understand.
