Hard Light Cinema

🐌 Part 4/4 of our Slow Sundays series

Kiarostami’s minimalist style is frequently named as one of the major influences on contemporary slow cinema. In Taste of Cherry, his minimalism is on full display – in plot, landscape, dialogue, and subject matter. The film follows a middle aged man driving around the Iranian countryside trying to find someone to bury his body after he kills himself. In its simplicity, it reveals all the complexity of what it is to be human.

There is ample free street parking surrounding RPL that is unlimited on weekends. Free refreshments will also be available inside. Come through for a lovely afternoon of slow cinema! As always, we are very appreciative of our hosts at the Richmond Public Library Main Branch for making this partnership possible.
