“I watched the Criterion DVD a few days ago and I thought this film was incredible. Itu0026#39;s amazing to me that such an incredible film could be made without the use of tracking shots, multiple camera angles, tilts, pans, and all the other camera techniques that most countries use in their films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enIran has a very young film industry that doesnu0026#39;t have the money or resources that many other film industries have. For what the Iranian film industry has at its disposal, this film is an exceptional achievement!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003enThis film is a great example of how the expression of human beingsu0026#39; feelings and ideas cannot be held back by censorship. Kudos to Kiarostami for creating a very heartfelt commentary on the effects of oppression on the human soul.”
