    Life, and Nothing More…

    ★★★★★

    "And Life Goes On" - as the title strongly suggests a sense of continuation - situates itself as part of Kiarostami’s ongoing dialectic. This time around, he literally pairs his interests of meta-cinema with the quests of child protagonists as he weaves real life events of the 1990 Iranian earthquake into a soulful exploration of film, fiction, and life itself.
    In keeping with most of his other work, Kiarostami offers a view of the human condition that’s deliberately unfinished - a humanist outlook at odds with so much suffering in the world - offering the most poignant blend of misery and optimism.
