<p>Conversations with Kiarostami collects for the first time a far ranging series of interviews with the celebrated director Abbas Kiarostami by film critic, and Iranian cinema expert, Godfrey Cheshire. Conducted in the 1990s, these in-depth conversations offer a film-by-film account of Kiarostami's views of his artistic development from his first short "Bread and Alley" in 1970 to the 1999 feature The Wind Will Carry Us, covering his lesser known, and seldom written about, shorts from earlier in his career, along with the masterworks that made him world famous, such as the Koker Trilogy (Where Is the Friend's House?, And Life Goes On, Through the Olive Trees), Close-Up and Taste of Cherry. The book includes a Foreword by Ahmad Kiarostami, the director's son, as well as an introduction from Cheshire that contextualizes the interviews and discusses his relationship with the director. "During Godfrey's several visits to Iran throughout a decade, he formed a relationship with my father that I had rarely seen him having with other writers. I believe this is because of Godfrey's ability to go beyond the surface; his unique views and interpretations...It is well-known that Godfrey was one of he first people who introduced the Iranian cinema to America and, yet, there is no trace of the usual "exotic" approach...That is what you will find in this book: a refreshing conversation with Abbas that has substance, and is far from cliché."-Ahmad Kiarostami, from his foreword. Published by Woodville Press. Perfect bound softcover. 188 pages. Edition of 750. "For Kiarostami's own overview of his early career, I'd recommend Conversations with Kiarostami by the critic and filmmaker Godfrey Cheshire."-Richard Brody, The New Yorker</p>
