"All she wants from you is that you walk beside her and lay your hand on her shoulder. That's all she's longing for. But for her, it's vital. But all your problems can be solved by a simple gesture. Do it and set yourself free."
#1 gizmo fanFeb 27, 2013Second viewing confirms this is among the handful of films I'd consider my all-time favorites. Everything I want in a film is here. (Well, I could use a chase scene with a car explosion, I guess.) What's the movie about? It's about an hour and forty-five minutes. An…

Basically, Before Sunrise and Before Midnight condensed into one movie.
gabriel guimarães?Apr 17, 2019Easily one of the most disorienting films in existence. The moment you feel grounded, in the most subtle way that you could completely miss it, Abbas pulls the rug from under you. Then shows you there was never rug, or that the rug is still there. Neither and both, over…

88/100 If cinema is considered a reflection, then Certified Copy is a heightened version of that opaque vision of ourselves and how we perceive others. Abbas Kiarostami takes conventions of Art-House cinema and shoves those norms right in front of a full-body mirror,…

Similarly to his earlier film “Close Up”, Abbas Kiarostami explores the lines between reality and fiction. All of the prolonged conversations (more or less similar to the Before Trilogy) feel very natural. This is a good film with some great performances.

The Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami's delicious brain tickler, Certified Copy, is an endless hall of mirrors whose reflections multiply as its story of a middle-aged couple driving through Tuscany carries them into a metaphysical labyrinth.
