This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Close-Up (Persian: کلوزآپ ، نمای نزدیک, Klūzāp, nemā-ye nazdīk) is a 1990 Iranian docufiction written, directed and edited by Abbas Kiarostami. The film tells the story of the historic trial of a man who impersonated film-maker Mohsen Makhmalbaf. He conned a family into believing they would star in his new film. The director received permission to film the trial; with their agreement, he featured the people involved in re-enacting certain events that had proceeded that. All "play" themselves. Through this work about human identity, Kiarostami gained wider international recognition.
Close-Up is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time; in the 2012 Sight & Sound poll, it was voted by critics as one of "The Top 50 Greatest Films of All Time". In the 2022 Sight and Sound critics' poll, it was rated the 17th greatest film of all time.
