Fantastic news! I hope more Kiarostami will follow, "Taste of Cherry" would be wonderful.

I hope they figure out a way to use the UK quad art. Reminds me of a Jasper Johns map:

Either way, I'm all over this, as IFC probably won't have it out for ages. Here's hoping we get some input from La Binoche in the extras--she often seems to downplay her involvement in light of her directors.

It seems the mock-up agrees with me (note the DVD logo), and I hope they move the BBFC certificate to the opposite corner.

That would be great. Taste of Cherry is my favourite film, and it would be nice to see some of his older films get re-released on Blu-ray. It was great to see Criterion release Close-up. Hopefully Criterion or Artificial Eye can do a few of his films. I can't say I'm that intrigued by Certified Copy, because I have never been a huge fan of Juliette Binoche. But I hope Abbas has made another interesting film

and I hope it will surprise me!

Gary's review is up at DVDBeaver. Kind of shocking that he received a screener (living in Canada) almost two months prior to the official Blu-ray release...

McCrutchy · 01-19-2011, 08:36 PM

I received my copy today.

This Blu-ray Disc is Region FREE. Both the film and the supplements should play perfectly on North American SAs and PS3s. Where necessary, the film and supplements contain optional, white font English subtitles.

I watched this last night and quite enjoyed it. After about the first half hour I was thinking "this should have been a rental" (I've bought it), but by the end I really liked it. It reminded me somewhat of Before sunset. Juliette Binoche is as gorgeous as ever, especially in HD

The stunning scenery in Tuscany is also beautiful. The relationship between the two leads is deliberately ambiguous, but just look on the IMdb message boards for some very plausible theories. Overall, a good film.

Is this like Summer Hours? I'm trying to find films to compare it to so I know whether or not to buy it....

Are you a fan of Kiarostami's work? Although that being said, he is one of the most intriguing directors out there, and his work has been quite different in recent years that you can't always say you will like his next film

This is what I read elsewhere:
"Other critics, such as Variety’s Rob Nelson, took little joy in noting that the film was “deliberately derivative,” and dutifully provided what became the requisite list of ostensible influences: Voyage to Italy (1954), Before Sunrise (1995), and In the Mood for Love (2000). "

I haven't seen any of those, so can't say how close they match this film. But I was pleasantly surprised by this film. After about 45 minutes of watching this I was starting to question whether Kiarostami had finally made an uninteresting and generic film, being a traditional romance with hints of humour. But the elliptical second half made it one of his most interesting films for a few years.

nightcrawler · 03-21-2011, 05:44 PM

From the films I've seen of his I'd say this (Certified Copy) is the most accessible. The only other ones I've seen are Shirin and Ten.

Something is strange. I saw the trailer and everybody in trailer is speaking English (and its not dubbed I can seee their lips movement) but here in the BD info it says Audio language "French"? I dont get it please explain?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Actually, there are three languages that are spoken in the film: French, English, and Italian

Does this come in a thin or thick case?
