December 2003
The Wind Will Carry Him: Abbas Kiarostami Remembered
Utilising a prism-like structure, Caputo arrives at a range of observations and conclusions about Kiarostami's latest feature, Ten, his cinematic style in general and digital cinema today.

Established in Melbourne (Australia) in 1999, Senses of Cinema is one of the first online film journals of its kind and has set the standard for professional, high quality film-related content on the Internet.

Senses of Cinema was founded on stolen lands. We acknowledge the sovereignty of the Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung people of the Kulin nation and support all Aboriginal people on their paths to self-determination.
