TASTE OF CHERRY - ABBAS KIAROSTAMI

Directed by Abbas Kiarostami
Iran, 1997, 1h 39min, DCP, In Persian with English subtitles.

In this characteristically poetic and philosophically rich Kiarostami classic, a man (the recently departed Homayoun Ershadi) is seeking only one thing — someone to bury him after he commits suicide. It’s a tough task and may be futile. When he does interest a stranger in the job, things get even more complicated. New 4K restoration.
