The film is such a lifeless drone that we experience it only as a movie.

The talk flows persuasively; the picture pulses with art and humanity.

Kiarostami is in no rush, but the respect and love he shows for his characters, and the confidence and simplicity of his technique, make Taste of Cherry a satisfying experience.
