After the triumph of Certified Copy, Kiarostami traveled to Japan to create this mysterious and beguiling romantic drama. Playfully blurring the actual and imagined identities of three characters—a Tokyo sociology student who moonlights as a high-end call girl, her elderly new client, and her volatile boyfriend—it screened in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. Don’t be late to this screening: The extended opening shot is a jaw-dropper!
