Taste of Things

Winner of the Palme D'Or at Cannes 1997, Taste of Cherry is a deep philosophical study about a man who is so tired of life that he wants to commit suicide. Cruising the outskirts of Tehran, Mr. Badii searches for an accomplice who is willing to bury him after he is dead. He is not successful until he finally strikes a bargain with a museum guard. But before the guard agrees to the deed, he wants to know why Mr. Badii is so desperate to die and dispense with the joys of nature, such as the taste of cherries.

Black and white, gay and straight, mothers and daughters, class, and coming of age. Jo is working class, in her teens, living with her drunk and libidinous mother in northern England. When mom marries impulsively, Jo is out on the streets; she and Geoffrey, a gay co worker who's adrift himself, find a room together. Then Jo finds herself pregnant after a one night stand with Jimmy, a Black sailor. Geoffrey takes over the preparations for the baby's birth, and becomes, in effect, the child's father. The three of them seem to have things sorted out when Jo's mother reappears on the scene, assertive and domineering. Which "family" will emerge?
