 [ I ] t all looks like reporting , but everything underscores ( indique à l 'évidence ) that it is the fiction of a documentary ( in fact , Kiarostami shot the film several months after the 1990 earthquake ) , and that it is rather a document about " fiction " : not in the sense of imagining the unreal , but in the very specific and precise sense of the technique , of the art of constructing images . For the image by means of which , each time , each opens a world and precedes himself in it ( s 'y prédède ) is not pregiven ( donnée toute faite ) ( as are those of dreams , phantasms or bad films ) : it is to be invented , cut and edited . Thus it is evidence , insofar as , if one day I happen to look at my street on which I walk up and down ten times a day , I construct for an instant a new evidence of my street . >
