The Tehran residence of the late, world-renowned filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami has been damaged in an American-Israeli airstrike. Kiarostami was not just a director; he was a poetic voice for humanity whose work transcended borders and bridged cultures. His genius was recognized by the legendary Akira Kurosawa, who once remarked that Kiarostami’s films were a gift to the world. Japanese audiences have loved his cinema for its quiet beauty and depth.
