Oh excellent! That’s my favourite film of all time
Kandahar is a really powerful watch whilst Gabbeh is a lovely bit of magic realism. The Cyclist is also one of my favourites, but I think he’s a director who covers so much and incorporates different elements to his works that people will get different things out of each film.
I’d also check out Close-Up which is a fascinating work. He doesn’t direct it but it tells the true story, complete with real life footage of the subsequent trial, of a man who impersonated Makhmalbaf and got into a families life, even promising them they would be in his new film. The film then reconstructs how exactly he did this, using the real man on trial and real family
