Director: Abbas Kiarostami
Certified Copy is a look at the genuine - a difficult thing to do through the lens of film, which is already artificial, and arguably more artificial than say, a novel. What's more genuine - our memories of the past, which are ostensibly fixed, or our experience of the present, which features changes of all sorts, changes which we may be only truly aware of when we examine the past?
In short, I can't spoil this film's plot at all, but it's heady stuff. There are recent films which have a similar theme, but compared to this they're inorganic, ungenuine, and artificial.
