Certified Copy

September 6, 2012 By Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acorns 5 Comments

Hello, how is your week? Mine was going very well until yesterday, I went to bed perfectly fine and woke up with terrible lower back pain. How does that happen? What could I possibly have been doing in my sleep to cripple myself? A mystery to be sure.

Speaking of mysteries, have you seen the movie Certified Copy? It is an interesting, confusing film directed by Iranian film director Abbas Kiarostami, which stars Juliette Binoche and opera star, William Shimell.

 Set in Tuscany the movie tells the story of author James Miller, who wrote a book called “Certified Copy”,  and is in Italy speaking about his book. At a lecture he is giving, Juliette Binoche refereed to as Elle/She  offers to show him around the city. He takes her up on the offer and they spend a day together in a little Italian village where newlyweds visit so that they will have long and prosperous marriage. 

I don’t want to tell you more of the movie because frankly I wouldn’t even know what or how to explain it. The story is not straight forward and for me it was a bit confusing, In fact the director Abbas Kiarostami said in an interview that if five people see the movie they will have five interpretations of what it is about.

Have you seen it? Can you give me your interpretation because I would love to know what other people thought it was about. 

Have you seen any good movies? I am always open to suggestions.

I hope you have a great day! Enjoy!

    Morning Elizabeth,
    I have neither heard nor seen it. Will have to try and watch, sounds intriguing. I am however looking forward to seeing "Untouchables". A French film starring Omar Sy. It's winning all kinds of awards and looks totally heartwarming.

    Ouch, I know exactly how you feel. Sometimes it takes just the slightest movement to put a back out. It was probably something you did duing the day and the inflammation took hold during the night. Did you move any wardrobes yesterday! I did it getting out of a car once, simple. On my back for at least 3 days and then walking like a crab for another week. I don't envy you. Take some anti inflams and have a stack of books close to hand. It's your body wanting a rest.

    Take care!

    I have not seen this movie, but it will be a MUST SEE on my list for the coming cold months!!! DEAREST, I have had this happen to me before with the back. I have NO IDEA why this happens, and in fact, it just happened to my husband and his ANKLE the other day. For NO apparent reason, his ankle gave him so much pain for the entire day. The next day? IT WAS GONE. That has happened to my back, neck and arm….who knows! BE WELL…Anita

    Have not seen this movie, dear friend, but I'm now intrigued!
    Oh, do take care of yourself! Lower back pain…yikes…I agree with Dianne, sometimes it's the slightest something.
    I know that for me cooler weather affects my back and joints in general.
    I hope you are feeling better very soon.
    And I also wish you could join me and Anita…what an amazing gift that would be, Elizabeth.
    Someday, I really hope so!
    xoxo

This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life This is how I feel tonight, as if I am seeing life through the blur of tears and sorrow. Sunday night my friend of 34 years lost her husband of 36 years, because of Covid he did not get to meet or hold his newborn grandson. Then just an hour ago we received a call that my husbands best friend died of a massive heart attack this morning. Sometimes life just knocks you to your knees and all you can do is pray for the  loved ones you’ve lost, cherish their memories and let your time with them sustain you until you meet again. Then you ask God for the strength to get up and move forward. #life #loss #givemestrength #givemestrengthlord #pray
Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping Although I see signs of spring, a daffodil popping up from the ground, bright and colorful flowers in the garden center the weather and the calendar tell me otherwise. So I am hunkering down and taking solace inside enjoying the details of a collected home and life. This tapestry is a piece that we purchased over 25 years ago in Paris, it hang in the dining room and makes me smile every time I see it because it reminds me of such a happy and beautiful place. What do you collect? What brings you joy in your home? #collectedhome #collectedlook #homedecor #myhome #homesweethome #interiordesign #frenchprovincial #france #frenchdecor #tapestry #instahome #instahomedecor #acolectedlife #collection
Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. Good afternoon friends, it’s a frigid day here. How is it in your “neck of the woods?” We took a long road-trip a few weeks ago to the beautiful @colonialwmsburg . I love this place, there is so much to see and do and even wearing masks and social distancing you can still enjoy the history and the beauty of this living museum. Today I am home doing the weekend chores, and of course doing a little baking. I hope that you have a fabulous weekend. #colonialwilliamsburg #williamsburg #colonialhouse #livinghistory #livinghistorymuseum #museum #winterfun #roadtrip #wanderlust #weekend #weekendvibes #weekendmood

“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~ “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?” ~Percy Bysshe Shelly  my answer to that is I hope not! This has been a strange winter and I am sure that for the 4 million people without power in19 states they are hoping spring is sooner rather than later. I hope that you are all well and keeping safe. I’m praying for all of you without power and heat and hope it is restored soon. #pinkaesthetic #art #acrylicpainting #painting #details #artistsoninstagram #artwork #artworld #color #artoftheday #quote #quoteoftheday #quotestoliveby #artofinstagram
