FILM DESCRIPTION:

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival, Iranian auteur Abbas Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry is an emotionally complex meditation on life and death. Middle-aged Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ershadi) drives through the hilly outskirts of Tehran, searching for someone to rescue or bury him.

“Abbas Kiarostami represents the highest level of artistry in cinema… put into word by the great Jean Renoir, ‘Reality is always magic.’ That statement sums up Kiarostami’s extraordinary body of work.” - Martin Scorsese
