Taste of Cherry

made me remember why I love cinema

If I gave a thorough review I’d have far more complains than I would praise: sound design was terrible, was far longer than needed, ending was disappointing.

But over all else I feel it succeeded in what it set out to do. It had great dialogue and it felt very purposeful & heavy

In an existencial crisis. I haven’t actually watched any film, in the past couple of days. Just I wish to have my memory erased, and watch this for the first time again. Abbas K. is a director of a gem. I wish to have such wisdom in this life, and use it for the better.

I very much enjoyed this. It’s stunningly shot and takes its time with you. I’ll admit, I struggled to lock in on this, but by the end, I was very glad to have seen it. A beautiful title and a more beautiful film.

"the night of the full moon don’t you want to see it again?"
literally the greatest monologue ever
