Reference to Kiarostami's Close-up?

Anybody else recognize the house that Jafar pulls up to - with his 'partner' the DVD smuggler - as the same one that figures prominently in Kiarostami's Close-up, that is, the house of still another filmmaker, Mohsen Makhmalbaf? Like Taxi, Close-up communicates in multiple layers, posing questions about artistic freedom and individual identity; the acting roles were played by the same people who lived the events.
