Close-Up
A Crime and Drama film released in 1990, Close-Up runs 1h 38m and comes from Iran. Soap2Day lists it with Abbas Kiarostami directing and Hossain Sabzian and Abolfazl Ahankhah in the cast. It holds 8/10 from 474 votes. This fiction-documentary hybrid uses a sensational real-life event—the arrest of a young man on charges that he fraudulently impersonated the well-known filmmaker Mohsen Makhmalbaf—as the basis for a stunning, multilayered investigation into movies, identity, artistic creation, and existence, in which the real people from the case play themselves.
