Recorded on Valentine's Day, this Arthouse Drive-In finds Robert and T exploring their first Iranian film together, Abbas Kiarostami's 1997 masterwork, 'Taste of Cherry.' The film follows the mysterious Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ershadi) as he drives around Tehran searching for someone to help him with a grave task. Taking place almost entirely in Mr. Badii's car, the film unfolds in a fashion unlike anything Robert has shown T up to this point.

Taste of Cherry presents a melancholy experience for viewers, yet our hosts delve deep into Kiarostami's style to show the meticulous care taken in creating the film. Robert discusses the way the film experiments with perspective and T finds parallels between Taste of Cherry and films such as The Shining for their use of long takes to create a foreboding atmosphere that keeps the viewer entranced.

Come along with Robert and T as they bring this masterpiece of Iranian film to your homes, through the convenience of your local Arthouse Drive-In!
