Through all the tragedy and killing and hopelessness seen at Cannes so far (there's a lot this year), it's a refreshing relief to see something with a little bit of insightful charm.
Enough charm to make me smile and laugh while watching, then grow warmly within me the more I think back to it.
Like Someone in Love is openly my first experience with Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami (Homework, Certified Copy) and, coincidentally, it's also his first experience shooting in Japan with a fully Japanese cast.
The results aren't perfect, but despite its flaws, I've fallen in love with this film.
Or maybe just its characters, odd as they are.
