Many of Abbas Kiarostami’s films are built on a deceptively simple premise. In this 1983 work, he uses a telephoto lens to film a busy intersection in Tehran, where a traffic cop is tasked with letting through only cars that have a permit. This produces fascinating exchanges between the officer and the drivers, who plead with him to let them pass.
