A middle-aged Tehranian man, Mr. Badii is intent on killing himself and seeks someone to bury him after his demise. Driving around the city, the seemingly well-to-do Badii meets with numerous people, including a Muslim student, asking them to take on the job, but initially he has little luck. Eventually, Badii finds a man who is up for the task because he needs the money, but his new associate soon tries to talk him out of committing suicide.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Kiarastomi, like no other filmmaker, has a vision of human scale that is simultaneously epic and precisely minuscule.

fresh:
Kiarostami is in no rush, but the respect and love he shows for his characters, and the confidence and simplicity of his technique, make Taste of Cherry a satisfying experience.

fresh:
The talk flows persuasively; the picture pulses with art and humanity.
– Richard Corliss,

rotten:
The film is such a lifeless drone that we experience it only as a movie.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,

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