Young male students at a local Iranian school are asked about their feelings on homework.

阿巴斯不仅是一位备受瞩目电影导演，他的电影被称为“诗意电影”，因为阿巴斯的另外一个身份是一位风格独特的诗人。事实上，他的诗歌写作比其他的艺术行为在时间上要早得多，并受到了广泛的关注。这本诗集收录了阿巴斯的500余首诗歌，其诗作传统来自于古老的波斯诗歌传统，特点上呈现出哲 学和冥思的特征。他的诗歌可以说是短小精悍的典型，阿巴斯从不写冗长的诗歌，每一首诗歌也没有一个确定的标题。但是始终充满了拥有独特观察之眼的诗人对于世界特有的专注凝视和细致观察。他的那些简短、迅疾、跳跃但目光细致的诗句，让我们重新审视身边的事物和景象，领悟日常世界的诗意本质。

A man, unable to hitch a ride back to his broken-down car with a new tire, rolls it back to his car while running.

An old man with a hearing aid tires of listening to the noises of the town. But when he takes his aid out he can't hear his grandchildren coming to see him.

A sense of order is the necessary basis of any good social organisation. To illustrate this axiom, Kiarostami presents a series of paired scenes in this educational short film in which the same action is first shown in an organised way and then in an anarchic one. The film crew, however, finds it difficult to organise disorder.

The second movie of Kiarostami, made in 1972. It calls in my mind some of the very first movies of Brakhage, especially The Way to Shadow Garden. In both cases, a minimalistic gem, nothing explained, a personage without history, without motivation, with the unique role of putting in value a disconcerting universe. Is it the admirable end of Breaktime a negative stasis (like in the movie of Brakhage)? Well, it is somehow a way to the Gardens of Shadow, too, though I think it is, much more, something else: it is an end refusing to be the end (as the movie actually has no beginning, also). This fourteen minutes movie dares to eliminate the story from its structure! It is a shame that Breaktime passed unobserved, because it was marking a new age in the history of cinema.

During breaktime, Dara and Nader have a fierce argument about a torn exercise book that the former has given back to the latter. There are two possible outcomes, which the film shows one after the other. One is that Dara wants to get his own back, and the two boys start a violent fight; the other is that they work together to mend the exercise book with a little glue.

Several people try to take advantage of a little girl's innocence to hustle money her mom gave to her to buy a goldfish with.

1）沙滩上，一小截断木随着海浪滚来滚去，不得自主。在不断拍打之下，它最终断为两截，朝着不同的方向各自行进；2）蓝天白云，和风拂面。人们悠闲地在海边散步，他们欢声笑语，无忧无虑。海鸥在天空自由地鸣叫，一切似乎都是那么祥和、宁静；3）空旷的海边上，六条小狗在这里游戏嬉耍，似乎没有人能够搅扰它们的快乐；4）鸭子们迈着凌乱的步伐从这头走向那头，再从那头奔向这头，谁也不知道它们想些什么，或者只是沉迷于这样的行动；5）深夜，蝉鸣、虫鸣、蛙鸣，风声、雨声、水声，大自然的万物在这一刻演绎了绝佳的协奏曲。 本片为伊朗著名导演阿巴斯向小津安二郎的致敬之作。

A hundred and fourteen famous Iranian theater and cinema actresses and a French star: mute spectators at a theatrical representation of Khosrow and Shirin, a Persian poem from the twelfth century, put on stage by Kiarostami. The development of the text -- long a favorite in Persia and the Middle East -- remains invisible to the viewer of the film, the whole story is told by the faces of the women watching the show.

阿巴斯是伊朗新浪潮电影开创者、诗意电影大师，一生拍摄了22部电影，受到黑泽明、戈达尔等电影巨匠的一致推崇。1997年，阿巴斯凭借《樱桃的滋味》获得戛纳电影节金棕榈奖，之后《何处是我朋友家》《橄榄树下的情人》《随风而逝》等作品均获国际大奖。 阿巴斯的电影，用镜头凝视平凡人 世，纯粹、简朴的故事给人以最单纯的感动。影像风格简洁而富有诗意，洋溢着人文情怀与哲学思考。《樱桃的滋味》是阿巴斯一生导演历程的珍贵总结，详尽而深刻地呈现了阿巴斯的艺术观和人生观，是一部兼具实用价值与美学价值的电影沉思录。
