DVD - 2012

What seems at first to be a straightforward tale of two people 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, reminds us that love itself is an enigma.

Review by Library Journal Review

An antiques shop owner (Juliette Binoche) meets an art scholar (opera singer William Shimell) at a lecture and takes him sightseeing around Tuscany, all the while engaging in conversation that segues from playful to contentious. Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami (Close-Up) can be enigmatic to the point of obscurantic in this thought-provoking exploration of reality vs. fakery in which the characters may in fact be long married. A year-end top-ten pick for many critics, this certifiable puzzler is for the intellectually leaning. (c) Copyright 2012. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
