Creating films for more than 40 years during times of unending war and political turmoil, Kiarostami promoted the Sufi tradition of seeing God as part of nature and the pre-Islamic Zoroastrian ideal of environmental protection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKiarostami's self-image as a citizen of the world, his renunciation of war, and his concern for the future of nature cement his importance within the art form of poetic cinema. Addressing Kiarostami's illumination of humanity's self-destructive tendencies, author Julian Rice presents a detailed analysis of twelve individual films, from Homework (1989) to Like Someone in Love (2012). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDeparting from concerns of spectatorship or film in general, Rice's book portrays the human and spiritual core of Kiarostami.
