"Taste Of Cherry - Abbas Kiarostami (1997)"

This is a film that I believe suffered badly from being watched on the train. Stop announcements and a break of 8 hours between the two halves of the movie did not serve it well. I loved its slow pace and the way it was shot. Reading today about the way the film was made was fascinating (Rosenbaum piece, contains spoilers) only served to raise my appreciation of it. But I really need to see it again in a quiet dark room with no interruptions.
