We often question what we donot understand. Some things have strong foundations and deep rooted answers while others are based on changes all over the generations. This film focusses on such an event which they want to capture, but fate has something else decided. Idle mind is a workshop of the devil... as they remain there, they find things there which they are not used to. They need business to withhold their demons, they have occupied their minds with day today things and dont focus on themselves. While the other person tries to fit it with the culture, he also finds the difficult. This contrasting response to the same situation shows how much we sre invested in a thing. We want everything fast and easy, but things require time. Although I found the man creepy at times but maybe it is due to the fact the people there are too simple. He didnot got what he wanted but he got something different. The character development was kinda ok from when he first arrived. If only you look and interact, you will see beauty all around. And the poetry spread all over the film, was just perfect. Although I do believe in the afterlife, but everyone has their own perspective and making a film is about all those things. Give the audiencr a different perspective through the eyes of different people. Good simple visuals, characteristic of Abbas Kiarostami.
