Certified Copy – the new Platonic Ideal
Certified Copy – the new Platonic Ideal

Summary/Abstract: A discussion regarding the concept of certified copy in Kiarostami’s movies and a close analysis concerning the relationship between reality – fantasy and original – copy as reflected in the cinema and meta-cinema. An important base of my inquiry is the text of Jean-Luc Nancy, The Evidence of Film, especially the interview between Nancy and Kiarostami. A secondary matter is the one revolving around the identity issue and the question of community recurrent in the Iranian’s director productions.
