One of the most interesting films of the 2010 Cannes Film Festival is Abbas Kiarostami's Tuscan romance Certified Copy starring Juliette Binoche and William Shimell. What initially appears to be a story of a chance meeting between two people quickly becomes something much more. What is going on exactly?
Have these two people known each other for 15 years or more? Are they just meeting? Is this even a linear narrative telling one cohesive story or perhaps just a series of vignettes representing all that could ta
ke place on a couples' one day tour of Tuscany? The film plays with your mind and I had a hard time enjoying it until it was over and I began piecing it together from the little clues Kiarostami gave me.
Shimmel plays James Miller, an English author whose latest book, "Certified Copy," speaks to the heart of the film. His boo
k looks at the years of replica and copied artworks and says a copy is just as relevant as the original. After all, if you're told a copy is the original and have already placed value in it, does it make it any less valuable if you're then told it is in fact a copy? It would seem Kiarostami is asking the same question about his duplicitous story.
Binoche plays an unnamed woman referred to only as "She". We first meet her as she sits in on James's press conference for his new book. She hands the translator a note with her phone number and, with her son
, heads off to a nearby restaurant. It's here that her son teases her for having a crush on James. She's guarded as to her intentions, but we think it's only because he's too young to unders
tand adult infatuation, but perhaps there's more to it. He asks why she doesn't reference him by his surname, a curious question I still haven't gotten to the bottom of, but it is the first clue given letting us know this isn't going to be just another love story in Tuscany. Then again, maybe it is maybe it's every love story.
The note left for James leads to a date between our two leads. Things are a bit off from the start as the two don't speak to each other as if
they've first met, but they're not finishing each other's sentences either. There's no playful flirting and it seems assumed they're going on a date. While there is no first date fidgeting, there remains an unspoken awkwardness the audience doesn't seem privy to. Netwebsite.In Is A Free Movies Website Where You Can Watch Full Movie Free.
