I would say that no film is apolitical. There are politics in all films. Any film that is anchored in a society, any film that deals with humanity is necessarily political. – Abbas Kiarostami
Poetry always runs away from you – its very difficult to grasp it, and every time you read it, depending on your conditions, you will have a different grasp of it. Whereas with a novel, once you have read it, you have grasped it. – Abbas Kiarostami
I would be too selfish if I said everyone should see my movies more than once. To say that would mean Im just marketing my work! – Abbas Kiarostami
In the total darkness, poetry is still there, and it is there for you. – Abbas Kiarostami
The sheep-people dont think for themselves anymore. You can say anything and its the gospel truth and they dont have to go research it or anything, and they believe everything the news tells them. People dont go and do their own investigations if its relationships or politics or anything. – Big Boi
