About This Novel
Abbas was the founder of Iran's new wave of cinema and a master of poetic cinema. He made 22 films in his life and was unanimously praised by film giants such as Akira Kurosawa and Godard. In 1997, Abbas won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival for "Taste of Cherry". Later, his works such as "Where is My Friend's House", "Lover Under the Olive Tree" and "Gone with the Wind" won international awards. Abbas's movies use the lens to gaze at the ordinary world, and the pure and simple stories give people the simplest touch. The image style is concise and poetic, full of humanistic feelings and philosophical thinking. "The Taste of Cherry" is a precious summary of Abbas's life as a director. It presents Abbas's artistic and life views in detail and profoundly. It is a film meditation with both practical and aesthetic values.

Some passages are inspiring, but they are not very helpful to me, because I already have my own set of ideas - not necessarily excellent ideas, but they suit me.
