Abstract:   (5159 Views)
Political Cinema is defined as a "political event", a "biography", or "process". Such a definition is, however, not inclusive enough to cover the films which focus on the normative aspects of politics without necessarily narrating a special political issue. By reviewing Abbas Kiarostami’s films, this article attempts to revise the definition of political cinema and propose the notion of normative political cinema.
Keywords: Normative Thought, Political Cinema, Friendship, resistance, Metaphysics of Violence
