“A frustrated young film-buff, who had been posing as Mohsen Makhmalbaf, gets arrested”.
These headlines in Tehran daily papers was coupled with the following story: “The accused passing himself off as the celebrated film director, entered the life of a well-to-do family with the ostensible intention of wanting to make a film with their participation. All this has apparently been an excuse for exploring the family house and planning for burglary which was forestalled with the man’s arrest.”
* Audio commentary by Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa and Jonathan Rosenbaum, authors of Abbas Kiarostami
* “Close-up” Long Shot, a documentary on Close-up’s central figure, Hossein Sabzian, six years after the film
* New video interview with Kiarostami
* A Walk with Kiarostami (2003), a documentary portrait of the director by Iranian film professor Jamsheed Akrami

All this has apparently been an excuse for exploring the family house and planning for burglary which was forestalled with the man’s arrest.”
The news provided Kiarostami with the basic idea for a semi-documentary film entitled “Close-up”. Kiarostami visited the accused in prison, contacted people at the judiciary department and obtained permission to shoot the court proceedings. He set up two cameras at the court: one with wide-angle lens to record the trial, and the other one with a close-up lens to probe into the psychological truth of the case.
