Two Sentences On: Abbas Kiarostami’s The Colors (1976).
1. A vibrant short film by Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami, who began his career making commercials, The Colors playfully explores colors through a child’s perspective, blending whimsical montages with a rhythmic, pedagogical approach.
2. The film, which epitomizes how far we’ve come from the astounding simplicity of effective cinematic visuals, associates colors like red with radishes and roses or green with spring plums and meadows.
