About
Taste of Cherry

Spent the first half of the film feeling like I was wandering as much as the characters therein but the final 30 minutes had be gripped. I love how his pacing turns the mundane into poetry. All the upsets about the ending rather miss the point. He has made it a point to disconnect himself from western escapist cinema, he does not allow us to hide in his films but instead sabotages them so his ideas must enter us.
