Taste of Cherry might be Kiarostami's most difficult film.

Has a visual style that seems rudimentary but becomes increasingly hypnotic and resonant.

The film's ambiguous ending has enough possible interpretations to fuel at least a dozen post-screening arguments. Others may just want to flee the scene and allow our enigmatic hero to go gentle into that good night.

“Taste of Cherry” doesn’t argue for or against the concept of suicide, but it does ask for a compassionate view on the desire to do so.
