I believe it was a submission for 1999 Academy Award consideration.

With all the nchatter about Iranian politics some marvelous filmmaking from that country gets overlooked. A Taste Of Cherry is one of my favorite films of all time - Kiarostami is a living treasure.

somewhat sadly, that many foreign directors, especially from places like China, Thailand, Brazil, Mexico, and Denmark are ignored. Sure, Germany, England, and France have talented directors but certainly, the past decade especially, they've been overtaken and surpassed by others.
One thing is inarguable: the production from the US has tanked.
