Even geniuses have their off days!
This could have been a great film since all the necessary elements are already there. The viewers can feel that they are in expert hands but unfortunately, director Abbas Kiarostami’s need to make the viewer appreciate his genius does not work in the film’s favor. Take the first scene for instance. I was very annoyed that the camera work made me feel a dissonance between what I saw & what I heard. Perhaps in his clever way, the director was trying to hint that nothing is as it seems. I don’t know what his intentions were but I didn’t care for his tricks.

Anyway, moving on with the story, we surmise that the young & beautiful Akiko has a possessive & jealous boyfriend & is being forced by her boss/pimp into an difficult position that she’s unable to get out of. The scene with her cab circling around her waiting grandma under the statue is so beautifully done that instantly my ambiguity towards Akiko vanished & I wanted this unhappy young woman to somehow find a way out of her predicament. The client is an old & retired academic who wanted to spend some time with Akiko. It is hinted that she bears a resemblance to his own granddaughter. She’s however too exhausted to eat or talk, & goes straight to sleep. The old man lets her rest & in the morning drives her to the College so that she can appear for her exam. There he meets her fiance, Noriaki, who tries to come across as a decent young man. He mistakes the old man for Akiko’s grandpa. Noriaki feels that he’s in love with her but the wise old man can sense that all’s not well between the young lovers & says that they are both too young to marry. Noriaki is nice enough to the old man but the latter can see that Noriaki is uncouth, has no interest in education & is chauvinistic to the point that he feels that once he marries Akiko, she would have to give in to all his demands. He has a low self esteem, is irrational, desperate, delusional, & obviously not the brightest bulb in the bunch. His fiancee has been avoiding him & he has his suspicions regarding Akiko’s work but is unwilling to see the facts. However, when he is faced with the truth, he reacts in a very volatile manner. The viewer along with Akiko & ‘grandpa’ feel frustrated that more than anything else, her unfortunate liaison with this seemingly harmless but actually deranged & aggressive man may doom her life forever.

Not Exactly What Ella Fitzgerald Had In Mind
Director Abbas Kiarostami has followed up his wonderful “Certified Copy” with this thoughtful drama involving a call girl, her volatile boyfriend and a retired professor. Akiko (Rin Takanashi)is a young,beautiful university student who moonlights as a call girl. One night she is driven to the home of Takashi (Tadashi Okuno) an educator who now works as a translator. No typical client, Takashi simply wants to talk and get to know Akiko. Her relationship with a boyfriend, a small auto shop owner named Noriaki (Ryo Kase), is spiraling out of control. His possessive, jealous rages are becoming more menacing.

Kiarostami also wrote the screenplay which seems completely authentic to time, place and character. It’s remarkable the way he makes even the most mundane conversations seem important and revealing. Filmed with minimal editing “Like Someone In Love” with its many long takes makes you feel as if you’re watching life as it’s happening. The performances are exemplary. Rin Takanashi brings an almost childlike innocence to the role of Akiko. She’s largely a pawn to the men in her life who pull her one way or another depending on their needs. Ryo Kase is a powder keg. A psychopathic personality he mistakes his obsessiveness for love. There’s an underlying sadness and loneliness to Tadashi Okuno’s character. Like other characters in the film he is searching for someone perhaps to love or something like it. “Like Someone In Love” is an odd and poignant film that centers around the randomness of human relationships and their unintended consequences.
