This video essay explores the existential philosophy of the 1997 film "Taste of Cherry" directed by the renowned Iranian filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami. The morality of ending one's life has been debated since the beginning of Western philosophy and has been examined in many films from around the world. It's a layered and nuanced topic to discuss, so in this video essay, I attempt to unpack why finding the meaning of our life is so complicated and relevant in 2023.
