Taste of Cherry

made me remember why I love cinema

"I know that suicide is one of the deadly sins, but being unhappy is a great sin too".
Had to rewatch. Beautiful. I just thought what the old man was saying to convince him to not do it was dumb and cliche, the same bs they say every time, without much real meaning.
But i liked-

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

The dialogue, acting, and cinematography is beautiful. But the pacing and long shots of either not much happening or the people's voices not being picked up by the mic makes it difficult to enjoy.

i love long shots
