As a short film it would have worked better, but as a feature length film it’s a slog and uninteresting. Why should I give a shit about the main character when we know pretty much nothing about him? We find out more about his passengers than him. Why is 95% of this movie just a guy driving around in circles in his car with the same routes and camera shots over and over again? It’s just boring and repetitive. What’s up with the ending? I agree with Roger Ebert this was a load of rubbish.

This just goes to show you that film can be just as boring as the dryest of history books. So mired in New Wave that it's hard to separate out the good from the eye-rollingly pretentious. Yes, there are aspects of this movie that are exquisitely done, but it stretches the patience of anyone. And this is no Kubrick or Tarkovsky, so its sour-pussed minimalism and repetitive dialog really gnaw at the watchable parts. A film made exclusively for tormenting film studies undergrads.

Kiarostami's death was a great loss to cinema, and TOC is yet another example of his deceptively simple, seemingly effortless style where minimalism isn't an end but a means to explore the complexity of the human condition. It is more direct and straight forward than some of his other films, but the scope has been reduced rather than narrowed, and the focus on a man's unusual practical dilemma gains real force through carefully crafted scenes of repetition and difference.

fun to revisit my first ever middle eastern film. in his own way kiarostami collapses the dichotomy of life and death just as thoroughly as someone like joe, only he goes further in analogising this with the relationship between cinema and reality (the film is perhaps intended as the 'cherry' from which one emerges reborn). regardless of its 'meaning', which is laid on too thick by certain dialogues, there's no denying the existential gravity when it's just a face, a car and a landscape.
