Close-Up is a 1990 Iranian docufiction written, directed and edited by Abbas Kiarostami. The film tells the story of the historic trial of a man who impersonated film-maker Mohsen Makhmalbaf. He conned a family into believing they would star in his new film. The director received permission to film the trial; with their agreement, he featured the people involved in re-enacting certain events that had proceeded that. All "play" themselves. Through this work about human identity, Kiarostami gained wider international recognition.
