Hats off to Abbas Kiarostami!!, 20 January 2009
10/10
Author: mns_bhat from India

The first Iranian movie that I watched was "Children of Heaven" which I liked a lot for it's beautiful show of joy and innocence .I then moved onto "taste of cherry" which was recommended by a friend of mine. Watching this movie was such an interesting experience that I am already looking forward to watching more of Iranian movies.

Simple, comical and to a certain level, spiritual is how I would describe this movie. In spite of the slow pace, the story holds you tight by keeping you in a state of wonder and amazement. The movies flows smoothly taking you on a journey with the main character whose past, present and future keeps us in intrigue. The lead actor Homayoun Ershadi has done a great job in portraying the role of Mr. Baddi - who is on a strange quest and is hell bent on accomplishing it.

The unconventional shooting style, the unconventional story and the unconventional ending makes this movie a great watch.
