Certified Copy. I just did. (I think it was brought up here during
our read).
I have seen a few of Abbas Kiarostrami's movies, wrote about one (still unpublished), am engaged
with subtleties and IDEAS as with few........ I do think he is a filmmaker who reads deeply and
alludes and works stuff into his films like Shakespeare, Pynchon, others (including filmmakers like Kurosawa and others I
can't think of) do....I think he had an aspect of The Plague and a couple three obvious allusions to Waiting for Godot
in the one I most liked....
And I think he has to know and be playing with The Recognitions in the most interesting ways in this movie, which
is structured around a writer who has written a book elevating art copies to equality with the originals, YET doesn't
seem to much like art, to say the least........
Maybe more....
