  • One of my favourite directors is Kiarostami. I myself am a filmmaker and I get a lot of inspiration from this guy. I like the picture with him and Scorsese. Scorsese is my favourite director and second is Kiarostami. To have both of them seen in one picture is great. Nice pictures too. Where did u get them? I used Kiarostami and his films for my final a-level exam in Film Studies.
