Taste of Cherry (Ta'm e guilass) is a 1997 film by acclaimed Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. The minimalist work deals with a man who is driving through a city suburb looking for somebody to assist him in suicide.

Kiarostami's masterpiece was awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in the year of its release, though it was also one of Roger Ebert's most hated films of the year.
