A Suit for Our Lives
The plot is quite simple: a mother ordered a suit for her son to attend his sister's wedding. It turned out that the tailor's assistant and some of his teenage friends planned to borrow the jacket and return it before morning, then things got complicated because of that. Even in his early works, Abbas Kiarostami was able to bring to life simple stories but focused on social commentary regarding class differences. With a duration of only about one hour, A Suit for Wedding is a funny, tense, but also satirical film. Kiarostami's ability to use children's characters as vocal points in depicting people's social life is truly amazing, observational and impressive.
