During Compassionate Week, we screen Taste of Cherry (1997), Abbas Kiarostami’s dreamlike, contemplative film. Middle-aged Mr. Badii wants to end his life in a society where suicide is considered unacceptable. As he drives through the hills surrounding Tehran, he searches for someone willing to bury him after his death. Along the way, he encounters a variety of people, each with their own reasons for refusing his request. Taste of Cherry explores what is difficult to put into words. Grief and loss, but equally connection, the need to get to know and understand one another. Compassion. And ultimately, what it means to be human.
