| More Information |
| Details: |
In what critics call director Abbas Kiarostami's most socially critical film, THE WIND WILL CARRY US has an abstract plot, which is mostly symbolic. A man named Behzad and two of his collegues travel from Tehran, Iran, to the tiny village of Siah Dareh, located on a dry, barren mountainside. They wander around town, spending some time in the cemetary, and observing the every day activities of the villagers. Behzad has some connection to a local schoolboy, Farzad. Technology--or the lack thereof--plays a large part, as do the naked environment and the harsh life that the locals endure. The movie is based on a poem of the same title {"The Wind Will Carry Us"} by Furugh Farrukhzad (1936-67). |
