Taste of Cherry

Abbas Kiarostami

WATCH NOW

NOT AVAILABLE

COMING SOON

Until 28 October

Kiarostami’s Taste of Cherry follows the forlorn Mr Badii as he drives around the outskirts of Tehran in a battered Range Rover. We gather that he’s looking for assistance of some kind and is ready to pay serious money. While Badii feels his quest to be a noble one, others are horrified at what he asks of them and take turns persuading him to reconsider in a series of fabular dialogues.
