Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Close-Up is a 1990 film from Iran directed by Abbas Kiarostami.It is a documentary—sort of, see below—about an incident that was briefly news in Iran in the late 1980s. The protagonist is Hossain Sabzian, a poor, underemployed resident of Teheran. One day he happens to be taking a bus ride while reading a screenplay by Iranian film director Mohsen Makhmalbaf. When the old lady sitting next to him asks him about it, he impulsively claims that he is Mohsen Makhmalbaf. The old lady, one Mahrokh Ahankhah, invites him to her home. Soon the faux Makhmalbaf is living with the upper-class Ahankhah family (husband, wife, two grown sons), drinking in their respect and esteem, and claiming that he will put them in his movie. Eventually, of course, he is exposed.What makes this film unique is that Kiarostami, who read the story in the paper, recruited everyone involved in the real-life incident to play themselves. Everyone from Hossain Sabzian to the Ahankhah family to the soldiers who made the arrest to Abbas Kiarostami play themselves, recreating events that they actually participated in, in a film that blurs the distinction between fiction and reality.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); }) | |

| Close-Up / int_8b6e8d7 | comment |
Anachronic Order: The scenes bounce back and forth, with the arrest and trial of Sabzian interspersed with flashbacks showing his meeting the Ahankhah family, as well as interviews that take place later in the narrative. One scene that initially appears to be an after-the-fact interview eventually turns out to be immediately before Sabizan's arrest. | |

Art Shift: The courtroom scenes were shot with a 16mm camera and look considerably grainier and more low-resolution than the rest of the movie. | |
