Abbas Kiarostami Earthquakes Quotations

This [the earthquake] was a very big influence on me, and the issue of life and death from then on does recur in my films.

It is a very important film, Life And Nothing More, in that what was filmed was inspired by a journey I had made just three days after an earthquake. And I speak not only of the film itself but also of the experience of being in that place, where only three days before 50,000 people had died.
