Ten
Aka "10". A perceptive and revealing portrait of contemporary Iran set in Tehran, "Ten" begins with a beautiful and articulate female driver (Mania Akbari) picking up her young son from school. After boldly revealing in a less than harmonious exchange that the woman has divorced her husband, the film goes on to meditatively explore the relationships that develop between the driver and her disparate passengers over the course of ten brief but intricately mapped-out journeys. Set entirely within the single location of the car's interior and shot with just a handful of actors on digital video, director Abbas Kiarostami delivers a humane, emotive and intelligent analysis of contemporary life and a radical yet intimate exploration of the wondrous possibilities of the cinematic medium.
