I Watched Again ABC Africa

I had the chance to watch again today Kiarostami's ABC Africa. I found the movie on Netflix, the only issue was with my Internet connection: it was quite slow today, so there were four or five annoying breaks. This way eighty minutes became around hundred fifty.



The movie is magnificent. Shot with two very small digital cameras, it gives you the impression that use of hand camera was just discovered, and total freedom just began in the world. The small cameras are playing each other and play with the universe, while the universe is playing with them.



It's been Kiarostami's dream from the beginning and it's just come true: the universe and his artwork became a whole. The universe has accepted his artwork, has integrated his artwork, became his artwork.




The universe became fresh and spontaneous. It's dancing around his camera. It's the miracle.
