Dir. Abbas Kiarostami – 1997 – 99m – Iran – In Farsi with English subtitles – Valid for Punch Cards
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.
“Attains a kind of haunting mysticism, profoundly shifting the audience’s perception of reality. It’s Kiarostami’s finest work, and one of the best films of the 1990s.” – Mattie Lucas, From the Front Row
“Confirmed Kiarostami as the most acclaimed director of Iran’s rich film culture…” – Sean Axmaker, Turner Classic Movies Online
“Kiarastomi, like no other filmmaker, has a vision of human scale that is simultaneously epic and precisely minuscule.” – Stephen Holden, New York Times
