Taste of Cherry , Ta'm e guilass,a 1997 Iranian film directed by Abbas Kiarostami , starring Homayoun Ershadi as the Protoganist Mr.Badii who travels through the suburbs in search of person who could bury him in exchange of hefty amount. He meets a soldier , an afgani student , then finally zeroing on a Azeri taxidermist. It is the travel of the life ultimate decision makes interestingly wry and a collage of roughly described philosophical notes.
Ershadi looks perfect for the role where most of the scenes are close up shots on him , at least in first half , when the travel reaches its reason. One could say acting was in his nature or at least this role. I was stumbled upon seeing one of the perfect prolific acting of the Character Mr. Badii.
Abbas , plainly believing on his making challenged the audience proving his ability of being wry and yet same time philosophical.
There are long shots, dead silence , no background music, exceptionally pictured hilly regions, long shots zeroing on Ershadi. Man its sheer belief of what the script materializes is in question, and its proved.
Taste of Cherry , is indeed a master’s work, winning 97’s Palme d’or Cannes, for its spectacular portrayal of Cinematic excellence.
