The great Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami (CLOSE-UP) travels to Tuscany for a luminous and provocative romance in which nothing is as it appears. What seems at first to be a straightforward tale of two people - played by Oscar-winning actress Juliette Binoche (BLUE) and opera singer William Shimell getting to know each other over the course of an afternoon gradually reveals itself as something richer, stranger, and trickier: A mind-bending reflection on authenticity, in art as well as in relationships. Both cerebrally and emotionally engaging, CERTIFIED COPY reminds US that love itself is an enigma.
