A lovelorn village youth gets another chance at romance when he and
his disinterested paramour are cast as husband and wife by a visiting
film crew in Kiarostamis wryly romantic, fittingly self-reflective
third part of the Koker trilogy, shot in the same village as his
earlier Where Is the Friends Home? and And Life Goes On. Effectively
remixing the entire set-up of And Life Goes On, albeit through the
eyes of the nonplussed villagers as opposed to the filmmakers,
Kiarostami evokes at times an Iranian Day for Night (Film Society of
Lincoln Center), and poetically uncovers the way that cinema can
reinvent not only landscapes, but lives.
