9. Certified Copy Juliette Binoche's antiques dealer takes William Shimell's art historian for a literal ride across Italy, as all manner of art, originality, history, heartache, and the peculiarities of both sexes are discussed in varying languages and tones. Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami's latest masterpiece sounds skin-deep and monotonous but its simplicity hides an endlessly fascinating, slippery, emotionally and cerebrally rigorous puzzle of a romance. This ravishing and thunderously intelligent two-hander plumbs age-old mysteries while mimicking lesser, commonplace art-house fair to mesmerizing, sensuous, and deeply philosophical effects. |
