The great Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami travels to Tuscany for a luminous and provocative romance in which nothing is as it appears. What seems at first to be a straightforward tale of two people - played by Oscar-winning actress Juliette Binoche and opera singer William Shimell - getting to know each other over the course of an afternoon gradually reveals itself as something richer, stranger, and trickier: a mind-bending reflection on authenticity, in art as well as in relationships. Both cerebrally and emotionally engaging, Certified Copy reminds us that love itself is an enigma. (Criterion)

The movie undoubtedly provides some nice shots of Tuscany. What is worse is the story, which is just a backdrop to a relationship, and a wannabe something that turns out to be something else completely. I don’t like it when the whole movie pretends to be something it isn’t as that makes it hard to form one’s opinion on it. In any case, in defense of the film, I have to say that the dialogues were not so bad and they are perhaps the main driving force behind the whole film.

Abbas Kiarostami went to Europe and it worked. He made an interesting story about a couple who meet by chance and play the game of husband and wife together. It's a strange game and you don't even know if it's just a game or if there's something more to it. Thanks to great actors and an interesting, sometimes even absurd atmosphere, the film can easily captivate.
