Scott’s desire to tell people what movies to watch knows no bounds. He’s decided to create a series on here devoted to profiling directors and creating guides to their films. This week’s director is… Abbas Kiarostami.

Highly recommended: Where Is the Friend’s House?, Close-Up, Taste of Cherry, The Wind Carry Us, Ten, Certified Copy

Recommended: The Bread and Alley (short film), First Case, Second Case, Orderly or Disorderly (short films), Homework, And Life Goes On… (a.k.a. Life, and Nothing More…), Through the Olive Trees, Like Someone in Love, 24 Frames

Worth a look: Two Solutions for One Problem, Shirin

Next week’s director is… no one, I’m going to be out of town next week (the next director I cover will be Charles Chaplin)
