Chief Chick Comments

Abbas Kiarostami, the famous Iranian director of movies such as "Certified Copy", directed this unusual movie. A young prostitute fails to meet her visiting Grandmother and instead is sent on a very special visit to an elderly Professor who lives over an hour away from Tokyo. The Professor is a widower and still writes and edits books on philosophy. He has arranged a nice dinner and seems willing to talk at length with the young girl. Over the next few days, he helps her including consuling her boyfriend who does not know about her evening work. The ending is very strange, disturbing and unexpected. I scoured the internet looking for an explanation, but all I got was that Kiarostami, the director, does this kind of thing. He is also famous for his scenes staged inside automobiles. Several fillm festivals featured this movie which is in Japanese with subtitles and directed by an Iranian. If you figure it out, please tell me! The Chief Chick
