Juliette Binoche won the Best Actress prize in Cannes for her performance in this playful and provocative romantic drama from legendary auteur Abbas Kiarostami (“Taste of Cherry”, “The Wind Will Carry Us”), his first feature made outside of Iran. Binoche plays a gallery owner living in a Tuscan village who attends a lecture by a British author (opera star William Shimell) on authenticity and fakery in art. Afterward, she invites him on a tour of the countryside, during which he is mistaken for her husband. They keep up the pretense and continue on their afternoon out, discussing love, life and art, and increasingly behaving like a long-married couple. But are they play-acting on a whim, or is there more to their seemingly new relationship than meets the eye?
So bring a friend. Wear your beret, and share the experience of a film that Stephen Holder of The New York Times calls “a delicious brain tickler,” when CineGrand presents “Certified Copy”, Thursday August 9th through Saturday August 11th at 7pm with a Saturday matinee at 2pm.
Please note- admission for each CineGrand screening is as follows: General Admission-$7, Seniors- $6 and Members are $5. The Grand is pleased to offer French Film & Pizza night in collaboration with The Maine Grind. We’ll be wearing our berets, and welcome you to enjoy a gourmet pizza at a special price at the Maine Grind before the movie on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.
This presentation concludes the Grand’s annual Summer French Film series. Coming up in the fall will be more exciting film presentations and festivals including “Sharing the Stories- the 2nd Annual Maine LGBT Film Festival” running from Friday October 19th through Sunday October 21st.
