Directed by Abbas Kiarostami • 2010 • Italy
Starring Juliette Binoche, William Shimell
The great Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami travels to Tuscany for a luminous and provocative romance in which nothing is as it appears.

Both cerebrally and emotionally engaging, CERTIFIED COPY reminds us that love itself is an enigma.
