Abbas Kiarostami’s movies and theoretical writings manifest a technique of observing little details in continuous motion to evoke a sense of reality. This article investigates how the director conceives idleness as a device for instilling in the viewer such reality effect. This study of vain movements changes once it is subordinate to narrative causality, resulting in a semiotic of naiveté. With the support of the studies by André Bazin, Christian Metz, Roland Barthes and Jacques Rancière, we trace a path which presents human and non-human characters as stubborn vectors of a politics of idleness.
