Life, and Nothing More…
Movie · 1992 · ★★★★☆
"Life, and Nothing More..." is a 1992 Iranian film directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. The film is a deeply moving, poetic exploration of the aftermath of the devastating 1990 Manjil-Rudbar earthquake in Iran, which left around 50,000 people dead and half a million homeless.
Kiarostami takes a unique approach in depicting the tragedy by focusing not on the disaster itself, but on its impact on the survivors, particularly a young boy and his family. Through a series of interconnected vignettes, the film chronicles their struggle to come to terms with the tragedy, their attempts to rebuild their lives, and their search for hope amidst the devastation.
This movie characterized by Kiarostami's signature blending of fiction and documentary, which creates a powerful resonant portrayal of human resilience in the face of adversity. The film won numerous awards, including the Prix Rossana du reportage at the 1992 Cannes Film Festival. 0 reply
