This radically minimalist film features five extended, seemingly single-take sequences, shot on hand-held DV camera along the shores of the Caspian Sea: a piece of driftwood is broken; people stroll along the promenade; a group of dogs gather; ducks nosily waddle by; and the full moon is reflected. In homage to Yasujiro Ozu, Five is calm, meditative and funny in equal measure.
Dir. Abbas Kiarostami. 74mins, 2003, Iran
