That is to say, he has finished the filming of his latest production, which was originally titled “The End,” but which title also reached its end and has been renamed “Like Someone in Love.
The film is Kiarostami’s second since he left Iran and set up shop in France. His first film in exile, “Certified Copy,” was shot in Italy with French and British stars and received considerable positive reviews.
This second film was shot in Yokohama with a Japanese cast. It describes an unusual relationship between a student and a brilliant, elderly academic.
The picture was originally planned to be filmed last spring, but Kiarostami delayed everything after the tsunami hit Japan.
There is no Iranian angle in either of these films he has made in exile.
