Abbas Kiarostami’s new film is a tantalizing mystery of love and interaction, reality and illusion. With his famous “Kiarostamian twist”, the acclaimed Iranian director brings reality and fiction together in surprising ways. A British writer and a French antiques dealer meet in beautiful surroundings in Tuscany. During the course of the day their relationship undergoes strange transformations. What is real and what is unreal in their relation to each other? Kiarostami states his point with the unusual choice of actors and leaves the audience in the dark. Juliette Binoche does a marvelous job and won the Best Actress Award in Cannes 2010 for her performance. Luca Bigazzi works the Kiarostamian magic with his excellent cinematography and proves his exquisit control of the tiniest detail. åhrj
