| | Film-Forward Review: [TEN] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) |
 | | Ten's deceptively simple premise and Kiarostami's ingeniously minimal approach offer a sophisticated portrait of the problem of female independence in Iran today, one that should prove anything but alien to women in any modern society. |
 | | DVD Extras: Ten advances Kiarostami's recent flirtation with digital video cameras, first used in the final sequence of A Taste of Cherry (more or less per force, after an accident at the processing lab destroyed the filmed footage); and more recently, almost as an afterthought, while scouting locations for his ABC Africa. |
 | | These and other matters come up in an informative and interesting (especially to film buffs) discussion in the loquacious 83-minute cinema lesson 10 on Ten, as the self-taught auteur discusses his approach to film in general and Ten in particular - all from behind the wheel, of course. |
