If you loved Certified Copy, try Like Someone in Love
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Abbas Kiarostami, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Certified Copy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Like Someone in Love is
Brief Encounter without the chaste repression. A student moonlighting as an escort develops an odd connection with a lonely professor in Tokyo. The nature of their relationship becomes increasingly ambiguous over the course of a single day. A quiet film of subtle gestures.
