section Summary
 
 
A car may be the most inconvenient and difficult setting for a film. I made a sixteen-minute movie which took place almost entirely in a car, and I ended up at one point crying from the frustrations. The three actors and I didn’t leave so much space left for the camera, and so the entire process was pretty claustrophobic. A car contains, it bottles up emotions, variation, and open-mindedness. Ten (2002) is a film that works well because instead of combating these elements as I had done, it uses them instead. Abbas Kiarostami is no stranger to using a car in his films; as he says in Ten On 10 (2004), it is his favorite location. But unlike his other films that have used a car extensively, Ten takes place exclusively from within the car.
