◇ YouTube - Trailer for "Taste of Cherry"
Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ershadi) drives around Tehran in hopes of finding someone willing to burry him after he commits suicide. Shot mostly in or around Badii's Range Rover, the story does not reveal why this seemingly rich man wishes to commit suicide. He has little luck finding an accomplice willing to burry him, suicide is forbidden under Islamic law and this is what puts him in this desperate situation. This effort won director Kiarostami the Palme d'Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival.
