Certified Copy (Kiarostami, 2010) French drama w/ Juliette Binoche
IMDB | Metacritic: 82 | March 2011
<hr>
Saw this over the weekend. It may be one of the most confusing films I've ever seen, if only because I was taking everything it said at face value. I was expecting more of a Before Sunset as opposed to, say, Inception. Not that there's any sci-fi (at all) in the movie, but you the audience is deliberately lied to... or not.
I don't want to give much more away. It's a great idea, but its execution could've been better.
Also, Binoche is hot in this. Hot enough for the film to be banned in the director's home country of Iran. She is clothed the entire film.

It's been quite a few months since I watched it, but I enjoyed it.
It's an intelligent film that deserves the critical acclaim it garnered I think. 88% with over 100 in on RT.

Finally watched this. Abbas Kiarostami's first film outside of Iran is excellent.
The story, acting and atmosphere are all top notch.
4.5/5

Yeah, this is a fantastic film that can almost play as a science fiction film once you discover the twist.

Who would have thought than an Iranian could make a European art house film as good as the old masters.

It did feel a bit surreal at times and reminded me of Resnais' Last Year at Marienbad (though not as creepy) & Bu๑uel's That Obscure Object of Desire. At other times it also reminded me of Antonioni's trilogy.
