Like someone telling a story

Like Someone in Love (2012)

Directed by Abbas Kiarostami this film stars Rin Takanashi, Ryo Kase and Tadashi Okuno. A student working as an escort struggles to keep her profession hidden from her family and her boyfriend.

This film pushes the idea of narrative ambiguity to the maximum which is a little frustrating at times, leaving the viewer not much to go on. While the film does not feel long to me at times it felt empty but it does end up being an interesting film about characters who never really communicate properly with each other. Most interesting is the fact that this is a Japanese film directed by an Iranian, not something you see very often.


3/5
