Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: نمای نزدیک
Greetings,

I'm wondering if the English translation truly fits the film title نمای نزدیک. Could you perhaps please give me a literal translation so I can see how the language works?

intimate view


Explanation:
Surely close-up is the best translation as my friends have suggested; The literal translation would be something like: an intimate view/ a close view!

Close-up:
A photograph or a film or television shot in which the subject is tightly framed and shown at a relatively large scale.
