perfect copy

She's a charming, slightly neurotic single mother who has moved to Tuscany from France for five years and runs an art shop. He is a British writer who came to Italy to promote his new book, titled "Perfect Copy", which explores the relationship between the original work of art and the copy. She came to his reader meeting, left her phone address and asked him to visit. He arrived on schedule and suggested going for a ride together. Outside the car window, the rolling grassy slopes and cypress trees unique to Tuscany pass by, and the conversation inside the car is about life and art. Sounds like a middle-aged Italian version of Before Sunset, doesn't it? If this is the case, Abbas is not the Abbas who filmed "The Taste of Cherry" and was admired by Hou Hsiao-hsien and others. I think the anti-romantic tendencies of this film must drive some people crazy.
I really can't think of anyone better suited for this role than Juliette Binoche. The kind of calmness that fully understands and accepts oneself, that kind of warmth that rejects pure reason, that kind of persistence that refuses to give up hope after many disappointments, that kind of neuroticism caused by the collision between idealism and daily trivial matters. There was an irresistible tiredness in the corners of her eyes, but it did not prevent her childish sloppiness and freewheeling. Just like in "Before Sunset", Ethan Hawk is a foil for Julie Delpy, and the handsome and extraordinary British writer in "Perfect Copy" still can't compete for the brilliance of the heroine.
A lot of excellent dialogue, natural and meaningful. Have to watch it again to remember. Like many men, he has a slightly cynical air because he thinks he knows the world. But fortunately, being a writer is not so uninteresting or refusing to listen and sympathize with understanding. She is also like many women, because she always has to complicate simple problems, and she is often sad and a little promiscuous. But she refused to be dull and numb, even if she was indented in the cover, it was actually an easy escape. So, their relationship, from the illusion of a romantic encounter at the beginning, to the fake drama of being mistaken for a husband and wife in the middle, to the absurdity and irony of the fake relationship at the end, is it a perfect copy of all relationships between men and women? He could write a book arguing that there is no such thing as originally in art works. So what about life?
