You might find that some people watch this film and then say things like: "incredibly boring, goes nowhere, please watch something else." To those reviewers I say: you are probably incredibly boring and going nowhere. I admit that this film is somewhat slow-moving, but it's not the most slow-moving film on the planet. And I also admit that this film will seem strange to American audiences who are looking for explosions, guns, hustling journalists, and hot tramps. I tend to shy away from slow-moving films without car chases myself, but to say this movie is boring, "extremely boring," is idiocy. Taste of Cherry is quite the opposite. What is boring about a desperate man who drives around the outskirts of Tehran hoping to find someone to bury him? The movie is a definitely a study of character and human relations. It takes a long and hard look at desperation and sadness. The cinematography is not the most stunning in the world, but cinematography is not this film's subject. This film's subject is loneliness, severe loneliness. To say that this film goes "nowhere fast" is a completely boring statement, boring because it is wrong and boring because it is a pre-fabricated critical cliche.

Very boring. Extremely boring. Nothing interesting about it.

This is what a great film is. Deep story, raw, and dynamic. Well worth the time and then some, subtitles are different yet become very enjoyable. There is no real way to understand a culture without their language, and this film takes us into Iran~ area.
I enjoyed how this man brought a mysterious way about him, then brought others into a bizarre situation, leaving the viewer to imagine where it was going. When the plot is revealed it begins to make more sense. The different people the main character had encounters with was an interesting way to look at multiple viewpoints, and needing just the right person to come along and accept the job, but in return, makes the main character think deeply about his life through a wise sage telling him a story about the mulberries saving his life before an intended suicide. It was an excellent film, seeing something unHollywoodized and pure film making for my first Hula plus movie. It is obvious why this movie is an award winner.

This movie goes nowhere fast then has no ending and as your waiting to see if man is or isnt and they show camara crews doing sound how crappy. please watch something else folks.
