Where Is the Friend’s House? (1987; Dir.: Abbas Kiarostami)
Canon Fodder Episode 54
The first film in Kiarostami’s so-called “Koker trilogy,” Where Is the Friend’s House? is a universally recognizable yet culturally and regionally specific slice-of-life with surprising moments of comedy and suspense. Abbas made what seems like a Canon-worthy no-brainer, but did this winner take it all, or did your hosts disagree the way old friends do?
