Answer
Abbas Kiarostami's films often mixed fictional and documentary elements, which gave them a unique and often surreal quality. For example, in his film Close-Up, he intercut footage of an actual trial with a re-enactment of the events leading up to it. This created a sense of ambiguity and uncertainty, as the viewer was never quite sure what was real and what was staged.
