come from kiarostami and this art house visual and sound exposition be a surprise . for a director know for his narrative and keen observation of human and especially child and this excursion into minimalist cinematography begs for question represent why do he do it . be it to keep him busy during a vacation at the shore . five and 5 long take consists of and you guess it and five long take . they be ( the title name be my own and the time approximate ) represent driftwood and wave . the camera stand nearly still look at a small piece of driftwood a it get move around by small wave splash on a beach . ten minute . watch people on the boardwalk . the camera stand still look at the ocean horizon and a boardwalk . people walk across the camera frame and their face too far and blurry to make them interest . eleven minute . six dog at the water edge . the camera stand still look at the ocean horizon with a sandy stretch of beach nearby . far away at the water edge and six dog not do much and just relaxing . sixteen minute . duck in line and gaggle of duck . the camera stand still look at the ocean horizon near the water edge . dozen and dozen of duck stream in single file from leave to right . i assume that kiarostami release them gradually . the last two duck stop dead on their track and suddenly a gaggle of duck roll quietly from right to leave . i assume kiarostami collect the duck and re release all at the same time . it be not the first time that he deal with the contrast between organize and disorganize behavior . eight minute . frog symphony and oops and i mean cacophony and for a stormy night . the camera stand over a pond at night . it pitch black except for what appear to be the reflection of the moon on the undulating water . it be a stormy night and cloud race to cover the moon . the screen go dark . what remain for u be the cacophony of frog and howl dog and and eventually and morning rooster . hit me on the head if this be do in a single take . i saw this segment a a sound composition put together in the editing room and accompany by a simple visualization . twenty seven minute . except for the mildly amusing duck and this exercise in minimalism leave me cold . a nonessential film for kiarostami admirer . i think i would rate five a five and but four be what it deserve . the film be dedicate to yasujiru ozu .
