Tickets (2005) - Abbas Kiarostami, Ken Loach, Ermanno Olmi



An excellent compilation. Two of the three films present simple ethical issues of kindness and trust towards strangers. The Kiarostami episode also shows an act of kindness, but is more complex, showing shifts in relationships and a teenager viewing adult relationships (in the past as well as in present).
