I have been looking for Kiarostami on dvd for a while and have nothing except a Taste of Cherry. What a shame!
Someone somewhere is bound to eventually release more of his films on dvd!

On DVD, there's also the R1 release of Jafar Panahi's "The Circle" coming out. But that's it, AFAIK. There's quite a lot available on VCD though (The Wind Will Carry Us, Children of Heaven, Where is the Friend's Home?, The White Balloon, etc.). "The Day I Became a Woman" was distributed by Shooting Gallery, and they went bankrupt. So chances are, we'll never see that film on VHS or DVD either. So sad.......

There's also the one minute short by Kiarostami on the Lumière and Company DVD. I know I'm grasping at straws here. Pretty pathetic.
I'm tapping my feet and patiently waiting for Kiarostami's newest, Willow and Wind and my favourite, Close Up. Also the seldom seen (shot in 1992 but released in 1999), The Lady, by Dariush Mehrjui.
