Kiarostami seems to be hinting that there's less of a cultural difference between Iran and the rest of the world than there is between adults and children. In a film that seems mindlessly repetitive -- but very realistic -- a young boy single-mindedly attempts to bring a notebook to a school chum. The plot is thin, but it says quite a bit. A nice surprise to find.

Pedagogical cinema? Followed by "Close-Up", "And Life...", and Beyond the...", Kiarostami makes a cinema of investigation. Theoria in Greek means a questioning contemplation that is a gaze. K. uses children and cars as directors and cameras respectively, to ask what essentially narrative, meaning, and frame mean. He says, the best a director can do is to accept his fate, personal and cosmological. A director can only be the shepherd of images, not a sovereign auteur. My respects Mr. neighbor.

This plain simplicity is easy and disarming. Watching this adorable boy's wide-eyed, single-minded determination to navigate the grown-up landscape, it becomes apparent that children and adults live in completely separate worlds. If Ahmed understands one thing, it's that he is doing what is right, even if the authority figures in his way can't bring themselves to comprehend or even care to begin with.

So many depict youth through an innocent sense of whimsy or wonder, but Kiarostami's vision is arguably closer to home for most - the indifference of adults, the frustrating pace of repeated questions, virtue at odds with societal expectations of obedience. That final shot is singularly beautiful.

Unusually perceptive film about children and the degree to which they are capable of acting with moral agency. Kiarostami uses the 'journey' of a persistent young boy to return his friend's notework as an entry point to explore attitudes towards children in the wider Iranian society and the way adults engage with kids in an either overly disciplinary or outright dismissive fashion. It's less bold than his future works, but it's well constructed, and the night scenes are among his best work.

Duty and integrity doesn’t have an age limit. Kiarostami lays out a seemingly simple task but with vital life lessons. Beautifully done.

Kiarostami's kid-sized, neo-realist adventure movie showcases the boundless moral and empathic courage children are capable of in a world of self-absorbtion and harsh discipline. It's amazingly kind, boasts an emotive lead performance, and even when it diverges from the main plot and gets overly repetitive, it's in service of its worthwhile message of self-sacrifice for those in need. A great way to blend realist aesthetics and themes with a story fit for children.
