The final film from the late Iranian master Abbas Kiarostami — completed posthumously by his son Ahmad — is one of his simplest, and most beautiful. As the title implies, “24 Frames” consists of two-dozen static shots, immersing viewers in spare, peaceful landscapes. Kiarostami doesn’t just drop a camera artlessly in the wilderness. These images are precisely composed, then manipulated digitally to control the pace of movement within the frame. The result is something strikingly different, from a filmmaker who kept experimenting with the medium all the way to the end.
