Evidently, this was the film that gave the idea to director Jafar Panahi to make his film "Taxi" (2015). Kiarostami has made the better film of the two, discussing social issues in contemporary Iran, while Panahi's film deals with both social and political issues, with the latter being more predominant.
The child actor (Amin Maher) and the lead actress (Mania Akbari) are both commendable in their roles in "Ten". A trivia: in real life they are mother and son. Kiarostami has possibly worked further on his debut short film "The Bread and Alley" (1970) and picked up further clues on handling child actors in Iran from Amir Naderi ("The Runner," 1985).
