If you loved Close-Up, try Der Geschmack der Kirsche
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Abbas Kiarostami, and they both carry the foreign gem, outsider mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Close-Up, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Der Geschmack der Kirsche is
*Ikiru* without the will to live. Mr. Badii drives around Tehran looking for someone who will agree to bury him after he commits suicide. He eventually finds a taker, but the man tries to convince him to choose life. A film about a choice, not an act.
