many of asghar farhadi's films feel so realistic, you could almost believe they're documentaries.
a separation in particular always makes me feel like i'm watching real people. there isn't even a hint of artifice in it.
abbas kiarostami's close-up is an interesting, extreme version of this, a film that skirts the line between fiction & documentary. it tells a true story of a many who conned a family into believing he was an iranian film-maker, and it was made with the people who were involved with the story playing themselves.
