Kiarostami’s first feature film was Nan va Koutcheh ( The Bread and Alley , 1970). Although he did make some award-winning films before the Iranian revolution in 1978 to 1979, it was only afterward that Kiarostami’s work began to be noticed in the West, winning plaudits from both critics and established directors such as Martin Scorsese and Jean-Luc Godard. In 1997 Ta’m e guilass ( A Taste of Cherry ) shared the coveted Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
