In this self-portrait of an artist in his natural habitat (the driver's seat of a car)‚ Kiarostami offers his teachings on movies. Taking his 2002 film Ten, shot with a stationary video camera on the dashboard of a car, as a case in point, he dissects his approach to filmmaking throughout his oeuvre.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?

80

Variety by Deborah Young

A self-contained master class on cinema.

30

Village Voice by J. Hoberman

10 on Ten is less illuminating than pedantic, as well as tediously self-absorbed.

70

Chicago Reader by Jonathan Rosenbaum

Kiarostami tries to explain himself and reveals contradictions and a penchant for hyperbole--along with surprising insights.

30

The New York Times by Manohla Dargis

A tediously didactic, often condescendingly reductive 10-part lesson on cinema.
