A drama set in Tuscany focusing on an art gallery owner, played enigmatically by Juliette Binoche, who together with a man she just met pretends to be a long-married couple. Are they play-acting, or are they really an estranged husband and wife?
Kiarostami honours his central theme by keeping the audience guessing to the end.
Juliette Binoche was awarded the Best Actress accolade at the Cannes Film Festival 2010 for her performance.
"It’s an extraordinary film, steadily building to a very moving final scene by way of a seemingly meandering but in fact very focused narrative held together by meticulous and subtle mise-en-scène."
Time Out
"An exceptional film that plays with what is real and what is imagination. While exploring language and communication, this drama is both funny and intense."
