  2. 'Like Someone in Love' a Tokyo story of love and lies ★★★ 1/2

    In &quot;Certified Copy," from Iranian writer-director Abbas Kiarostami, a relationship blossoms and then fades under the Tuscan sun, though the story keeps changing its rules of engagement. The couple at the center, we presume, are strangers getting to know each other, but halfway through the exquisite riddle of a picture they "become" (or pretend to become) husband and wife.

  3. Review: 'Like Someone in Love' is elegant and mysterious

    The first words in Abbas Kiarostami's sinuous and beguiling new drama are &quot;I'm not lying to you," and they're a lie. There'll be more equivocation and feints, more quietly disorienting shifts as the Tokyo-set story's events play out among an unlikely &mdash; and well-cast &mdash; triangle.

  9. Andy Klein's top 10 films of 2011

    There are numerous inherent flaws and absurdities in the process of compiling Top 10s and Best ofs; nonetheless, here are my favorite films released in Los Angeles in the calendar year 2011. In my version of this imperfect exercise, &ldquo;favorite&rdquo; is almost (but not exactly) congruent with &ldquo;best.&rdquo;

  10. DVD review: 'Certified Copy' looks at a mysterious relationship

    My top-10 films from last year are slowly making their way to home video, the latest being this mysterious relationship drama from Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami (&ldquo;Taste of Cherry,&rdquo; &ldquo;Crimson Gold&rdquo;) &mdash; certainly his most accessible film for Westerners. First of all, it's primarily in English, with a few English-subtitled scenes in French and Italian. Secondly, it is much closer in tone and technique to European cinema than to the Iranian films that make it to the U.S.
