Renowned filmmaker Kiarostami came to prominence with highly personalised takes on documentary. Since 1970 he has made over 40 films, and he has also worked as a screenwriter, film editor and art director. The hypnotic Five Long Takes Dedicated to Yasujiro Ozu was made only three years after his first digital film. Its careful construction belies the apparent simplicity of its depiction, paying tribute to the great Japanese filmmaker in five takes.
