TASTE OF CHERRY is a long sit. The listless pacing is a refreshing
change... until the story starts to repeat itself. (Plot: man drives
around outskirts of Tehran, searching for somone to help him commit
suicide.) Cannes winner or not, it didn't hold the interest of this
Westerner. Weird coda, too, that bumps the viewer into video foot-
age of the filmmaking. Huh? Written, directed, and produced by Abbas
Kiarostami. In Farsi with English subtitles. (Not rated/103 min.)
Grade: C
