Trivia:
Chosen by "Les Cahiers du cinéma" (France) as one of the 10 best pictures of 1997 (#06). moreQuotes:
Mr. Bagheri: If you look at the four seasons, each season brings fruit. In summer, there's fruit, in autumn, too. Winter brings different fruit and spring, too. No mother can fill her fridge with such a variety of fruit for her children. No mother can do as much for her children as God does for His creatures. You want to refuse all that? You want to give it all up? You want to give up the taste of cherries? moreFAQ

My first taste of Kiarostami, whom I've read about for years. I was
worried that, as a filmmaker, Kiarostami would be as inaccessible
as Godard in the 80s. I was pleasantly surprised by A TASTE OF
CHERRY. It's a linear narrative, and the film's early ambiguity
concerning the driver's quest kept me guessing (I knew nothing
about this film going in, which was a real plus). The film's unusual
visual style, particularly the long unedited takes, works surprisingly
well for this type of story. I can understand why traditional
American filmgoers would be bored to tears by A TASTE OF
CHERRY, but for fans of independent and foreign film, it's a
worthwhile investment of your time. It probably works better with
an older audience that can identify with the world-weary
characters.
