Why this pick
Kiarostami again turns waiting, driving and chance conversations into a quietly profound moral encounter, with the same dry openness and patient attention to landscape that shape Taste of Cherry.
02
Why this pick
Its stripped-back encounters, deadpan compassion and unhurried rhythm find dignity in a man at a personal vanishing point, without forcing emotion or easy reassurance.
03
Why this pick
A spare, observant journey through a changing landscape, where ordinary conversations and long pauses gradually carry the emotional weight of lives in suspension.
04
Why this pick
For the austere pacing and existential gravity: repetition, elemental surroundings and minute daily rituals create an immersive meditation on endurance and silence.
05
Why this pick

01 / THE STORY
A middle-aged Tehranian man, Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ershadi) is intent on killing himself and seeks someone to bury him after his demise. Driving around the city, the seemingly well-to-do Badii meets with numerous people, including a Muslim student (Mir Hossein Noori), asking them to take on the job, but initially he has little luck. Eventually, Badii finds a man who is up for the task because he needs the money, but his new associate soon tries to talk him out of committing suicide.
