Actress Juliette Binoche Visits Iran

AFP:

French actress Juliette Binoche, who is working on a new film with celebrated Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami, is visiting Iran in order to deepen her knowledge of the country, the ISNA agency reported Wednesday.

"When you work with someone you have to know them," Binoche told the agency about Kiarostami, who won the 1997 Palme d'Or at Cannes for his "Taste of Cherry".

The Iranian auteur is working on his new picture "The Certified Copy" in Italy and has cast Binoche as a gallery owner enjoying a brief encounter with a British writer. It will be his first feature since 2002's "Ten".

I wonder if they made her wear a veil. What a loss that would be be.
Blue, White, and Red with Binoche films were amazing and deeply profound explorations of human condition. I would put it on par with some the later Bergman (not quite hitting the Wild Strawberries level)

Juliette is a hot French babe. I wish she'd come and spend some time with me instead.

Juliette, forget the Iranians..­. she can come visit me instead! I've had it bad for both her and Valeria Golino for years. A Juliette and Valieria panini with me in the middle... yes, Virginia, there are some things worth living for.
