Abbas Kiarostami (interview)

"It is a good idea when pictures and action guide you to something which is outside the story without actually showing it. I believe in Bresson’s method of creation through omission, not through addition.

(...)

"My car is my best friend. My office. My home. My location. I have a very intimate feeling when I am in a car with someone next to me. We are in the most comfortable seats because we are not facing each other, but sitting side by side. We don’t look at each other constantly, but instead do so only when we want to. We are allowed to look around without appearing rude. We have a big screen in front of us and side views. Silence does not seem heavy or difficult. Nobody serves anybody. And there are many other aspects to this experience, as well. One most important thing is that the car transports us from one place to another. "
