"Taste Of Cherry" (1997): In my mind, Abbas Kiarostami (director of "The Wind Will Carry Us" and "Through The Olive Trees") is simply one of the greatest living poets of our time. "Taste Of Cherry" is not only a profound introduction to Kiarostami's work (and life on the outskirts of Tehran) but also arguably among the most moving meditations of the preciousness of life, touching on debates that galvanized Iranian philosophers of the middle ages.
"Certified Copy" (2010):
A mind-bending reflection on authenticity in art as well as in
relationships, through two supposed strangers who spend an afternoon wandering
the jaw-dropping beauty of Tuscany, a hall of mirrors whose reflections
multiply into a metaphysical labyrinth.
The opening reception for this art show + zine release + video installation is Friday, June 6th, 2014 from 6-10pm, during the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk.
