I’ve wondered that too - my best guess would be “Cardiogram” directed by Darezhan Omirbayev - since that film is indeed Kazakh and was released in 1995 - and as mentioned in the beginning of this video - it was stated that Kiarostami and Tarantino were judges at the Taormina International Film Festival in 1995.
@lamentate07 I don't think his tastes have changed at all. He usually speaks of filmmakers within the context of whatever project he's promoting. So, for something like "Grindhouse," he talked a lot about B-cinema. But when he brings over a film from Asia (like "Hero") then he'll talk about Asian filmmakers like Wong Kar Wei. He doesn't really have "taste" per se. The dude likes everything. Absolutely everything.
The story behind the making of Clerks is one of the most inspiring stories in the annals of film, just wished he had made an attempt at improving himself intead of making the same cheap and amateurish productions over and over again.
Another Persian here. Yeah the translation was a bit off. He was saying that Tarantino has done a good thing by making fun of violence, as it ‘lessens the tension’. I don’t know if I agree with him, though. I love Tarantino, but I’ve always felt his violence went a little too far. It’s really just torture porn. I still love his movies, but I have to look away during those scenes.
Tarantino makes porno movies next to Kiarostami, but there is room for all types of directors in the vast world of cinema. Like Kiarostami, i'm more interested in Tarantino the cinephile than Tarantino the director, but his choices of lately have been poor. I remember when Quentin used to get behind the great directors, like Kiarostami, Wong Kar Wai, Takeshi Kitano etc. HIs taste seems to have changed over the years, and that's unfortunate.
@tremontirocks I can't remember the last time i heard Tarantino talk about a serious film maker. In fact, i've never heard him make one great insight about directors he supposedly loves, like Godard and Antonioni, for example, but he will prattle on forever about the greatest action scene with tits!! He may watch everything, but what he understands and appreciates are two different things.
I know this is 9 years ago, but particularly looking at the Hateful 8, and Once Upon a Time along with Jackie Brown I think its fair to say the guy is maturing. I can't say he's ever made a film at the level of something like Close-Up and don't see it happening, but he will go down as a great director.
@@jeanlucbergman479 A great or all time great? I doubt the latter. He isn't on that level. Yes that was an old comment. I didn't think much of Once Upon A Time, but I thought The Hateful 8 was his best film since Jackie Brown.
Probably beacuase for him there is no difference between Godard and Sergio Martino, dramatic movies are often boring and pretentious with a lot of dramatic cliches and tedious dialogues. Cinema ain't just Bela Tarr, Tarkowsky and Rossellini and a strong division between "serious" movies and genre based movies is often a critic construction
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 Totally agree. Although also I understand why some might take issue with the level of enthusiasm someone like Tarantino draws in terms of "auteurs" relative to directors that typically make more austere cinema.
@SirHprdgn Well, if you meant that, then I misunderstood. I still think it's an unfair remark, but I interpreted it incorrectly, and I apologize for that.
@nickn328 "Completely dismissing?" How did you get that out of "Tarantino is the world's oldest fifteen-year-old?" I'm just saying that because he's a kind of a goofy guy and you can see it in his movies, half of which I think are very well done. And even if I WAS completely dismissing him, I don't think I would need to be at his talent level to be able to do so. I never claimed to be at his talent level; I don't know the first thing about operating a camera.
"Im not interested in his films as much as himself". Because great directors know that Tarantino is a copycat of cinema, he's a great character but his films are not influential.
@@randywhite3947 What has it influenced in terms of filmmaking? I will say it probably has fostered and helped people discover certain films that they wouldn't have otherwise due to Tarantino's homages of other films. Saying that RD and PF are extremely influential (regarding filmmaking) is one big statement which is most likely false.
How am I ignorant? I've seen some Kiarostami films I don't like them. I think the praise he recieves is massively overstated. That's dissaproval, not ignorance.
Are you a Tarantino fan? Kiarostami was known to be one of the most humble filmmakers. You can even see that in his films. Opposed to Tarantino's, in which Tarantino is extravagant in to show the extraordinary, just to stand out
"violence won't leave American cinema but he has found a way to play with violence and that brings down the tension."
What a line.
I could not imagine Mr.Kiarostami enjoying Quentin's films very much.
He said he's more interesting than his movies. means that he doesn't like his movies

Rest in Peace, very sad day and a big loss for the cinema world.
Tarantino is the world's oldest fifteen-year-old.
Never in my life have i seen somebody describe Tarantino so perfectly
That was more like Jeremy Clarkson
I think he would be proud to hear so
what the fuck is this supposed to mean?
@@HaroldSchmarold arrested development.
Anybody knows the title of the kazakhstan movie tarantino was supporting at that festival?

That is some major shade Abbas. And I'm here for it!
Put the automatic subtitles at the end. "Hello Alberta who shot you children by Yahoo dead tension am airplane"

Goddd!! he was beautiful and very handsome
abbas kiarostami, aki kaurismaki and quentin tarantino - grandes cineastes!
Very eclectic list there!
@@samfilmkid pretty sure tarantino is odd one in it
get well soon el maestro
@darkshewbacca I stand corrected. My mistake.

That’s how I feel about Kevin Smith, I like him as a person more then his movies.

@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 clerks was good but he never evolved from that.
@samarasingheclan I remember him maintaining that he loved the film on Ferguson but that the director was dismissive of him afterwards.
What film from Khazakstan is he referring to?
wise man
Honestly couldn't tell if the last comment on violence was a compliment a criticism or neither.
Hello !
I’m Persian and the way he says it in Persian Definitely sounds like a complement☺️

@nickn328 So I have to know how to make movies myself to be able to critique them?
No
he can speak english
What Kazakh he is talking about
this is exactly how I feel about Spike Lee.
!?
Yeah I agree, Spike Lee seems like a great guy but I'm not that interested in rewatching his movies

Why would they be different to female fans?

influence isnt a factor on how good a movie isnt
Um Reservoir Dogs and ESPECIALLY PULP FICTION are extremely influential to say otherwise is crazy
Lol what ypu said is such a stupid thing to say.
That's not why Kiarostami didn't like Tarantino's films. I'm pretty sure Kiarostami simply didn't care about Hollywood films in general.

Me están viniendo flatulencias... ¿qué hago?
@SirHprdgn A fifteen-year-old with a knowledge of film and a skill for filmmaking far past your own - but okay.
Kiarostami is an emperor with no clothes.
you stole this expression from Roger Ebert 😂
with clothes or no clothes finally he is a emperor. tarantino is only nice clothes not a emperor
This guy is lowkey hating
Ok?
If u don't like it, probably u don't know what cinema is.
Grow up.

Watch Certified Copy, his first film made outside of Iran. Quite different from his other movies. Brilliant film on many levels with superb acting.
Classic Iranian . arrogant

Frustrated Tarantino fanboy..
He is simply answering honestly. Not everyone is a fan of Tarantino's films. It doesn't mean you are arrogant.
