Movie No. 5 (2013): CERTIFIED COPY

Certified Copy (2010)
Director: Abbas Kiarostami
Cast: Juliette Binoche
In French, Italian, and English, with English subtitles

A middle aged British writer promotes his latest non-fiction book called Certified Copy in Tuscany. There  he meets a woman who tours him in the small but 'artistic' village of Lucignano before he leaves at 9:00 pm that same day. The strength of this film is in the dialogue between the two main characters, which started as exchange of opinions about reproduction of art pieces and the ideas discussed in the book and ends in one attacking the other.

If Woody Allen had directed Before Sunrise / Before Sunset, this could be the product. And, I mean, it's a good thing.

Juliette Binoche won Best Actress at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival for her now-playful-now-touchy character in this film.

Date seen: January 1, 2013
