A middle-aged Tehranian man, Mr. Badii is intent on killing himself and seeks someone to bury him after his demise. Driving around the city, the seemingly well-to-do Badii meets with numerous people, including a Muslim student, asking them to take on the job, but initially he has little luck. Eventually, Badii finds a man who is up for the task because he needs the money, but his new associate soon tries to talk him out of committing suicide.

Recommendations
AntiheroAbbas Kiarostami produced, directed and wrote the script. That and the plot and fact that it won Palme D'Or were enough reasons for me to watch it. However after doing so, I have mixed feelings. It's an OK watch, and some things are open for debate, like us not knowing the reason Mr. Badii wants to commit suicide (some things in life wont be explained) Mr.Bagheri story (dealing with problems is enjoying small things, or distractions which happen to Mr. Badii also throughout the movie (couple asking for a picture)) But all that being said, watch it, and see what I mean!Created on 11/27/2012
