Set over the course of one day in rural Tuscany, the film follows the enigmatic relationship between a man and woman who appear to have just met. James Miller (William Shimell) is an English writer who has arrived in Tuscany to promote his new book. When an unnamed French gallery owner (Juliette Binoche) attends Miller's lecture discussing the value of original artworks as opposed to copies, the two meet up afterwards and set off together on a sightseeing tour to the village of Lucignano. On arrival, they are mistaken for a married couple - but what is the real nature of the connection between them? (Curzon Artificial Eye)

The movie undoubtedly provides some nice shots of Tuscany. What is worse is the story, which is just a backdrop to a relationship, and a wannabe something that turns out to be something else completely. I don’t like it when the whole movie pretends to be something it isn’t as that makes it hard to form one’s opinion on it. In any case, in defense of the film, I have to say that the dialogues were not so bad and they are perhaps the main driving force behind the whole film.

Abbas Kiarostami went to Europe and it worked. He made an interesting story about a couple who meet by chance and play the game of husband and wife together. It's a strange game and you don't even know if it's just a game or if there's something more to it. Thanks to great actors and an interesting, sometimes even absurd atmosphere, the film can easily captivate.
