Where is the Friend’s Home (1987) – A. Kiarostami

Kiarostami's first great success tells the simple tale of a boy who mistakenly takes home a classmate's notebook and wants to return it so his friend won't get into trouble. However, this is more difficult than it seems. Beautifully depicted, compelling and suspenseful, though minimalist. Kiarostami's trademark wit is already in place (as we too struggle to make out whether that really is the friend over there behind the horse!).
