Before learning where to watch, it helps to understand the film's unique and deliberate rhythm. Abbas Kiarostami's "Taste of Cherry" follows Mr. Badii (Homayoun Ershadi), a middle-aged Tehranian man, as he drives through the dusty, hilly outskirts of Tehran in his Range Rover. His mission is deeply somber: he is searching for someone to assist him with his planned suicide. The task is specific. He does not ask for help in dying but requires a person to come to a pre-dug grave the morning after he takes his life. If he is alive, they are to help him up; if he is dead, they are to bury him.

Similarly, the film is available for rent on YouTube. Again, ensure you are selecting the version with closed captions (CC) rather than auto-generated ones. The official MK2 edition (the French distributor) has the best English subtitle track here. Taste Of Cherry Watch Online English Subtitles

Let’s be specific about the premise, because context is key. Mr. Badii (Ershadi) is a quiet, wealthy man driving through the red, rocky dust of the Kurdish region. He picks up hitchhikers—a young soldier, a seminarian, a taxidermist—and offers them a staggering sum of money. The task? Go to the hole he has already dug. Wait until morning. If he is still alive, pull him out. If he is dead, throw three shovelfuls of dirt on his face.

The movie is in Persian (Farsi) with English subtitles.

Over the course of a day, Badii picks up three passengers. The first, a young Kurdish soldier, is frightened and flees. The second, an Afghan seminarian, refuses on religious grounds. The third is Bagheri (Abdolrahman Bagheri), an elderly Turkish taxidermist who needs money for his sick child. He reluctantly agrees but tries to dissuade Badii by sharing his own past struggle with suicidal thoughts, which he overcame when he tasted a mulberry that fell from a tree. He sees the film's "Taste of Cherry" as a metaphor for the sweetness of life, a sensation only truly appreciated when one is at its edge.
