Close-Up (Persian: کلوزآپ ، نمای نزدیک, Klūzāp, nemā-ye nazdīk) is a 1990 Iranian docufiction written, directed and edited by Abbas Kiarostami. The film tells the story of the real-life trial of a man who impersonated film-maker Mohsen Makhmalbaf, conning a family into believing they would star in his new film.[1] It features the people involved, acting as themselves. A film about human identity, it helped to increase recognition of Kiarostami internationally.
Close-Up is considered to be one of the greatest films of all time; in the 2012 Sight & Sound poll, it was voted by critics one of "The Top 50 Greatest Films of All Time" list.[2] In the 2022 Sight and Sound critics' poll it was rated the 17th greatest film of all time.
