About this episode
The episode explores the philosophical questions raised by Abbas Kiarostami's film TASTE OF CHERRY and discusses Canadian conservative leader Pierre Poilievre.
Is life worth living? That's the question at the core of Abbas Kiarostami's masterpiece TASTE OF CHERRY (1997), which raises another question: is death really such a good option if you'll never again experience the taste of cherries? PLUS: Checking in on the leader of Canada's conservative movement, Pierre Poilievre. PATREON-EXCLUSIVE EPISODE - https://www.patreon.com/posts/701-taste-of-153968176
