The Wind Will Carry Us - Special Edition - Blu-ray - Import

Import zonder Nederlandstalige ondertiteling. The mysteries of everyday life come into astonishing focus in one of Abbas Kiarostami’s greatest cinematic achievements. A slyly self-reflexive commentary on the director’s own artistic practice, The Wind Will Carry Us unfolds with unhurried majesty as it follows an undercover documentarian (Behzad Dorani) whose assignment to cover a small village’s funeral rites is continually frustrated by an elderly woman’s refusal to die. Along the way, though, he forges surprising, unsettling, and enlightening connections with those he meets. Suffused with Kiarostami’s love for people, poetry, and the arid beauty of rural Iran, this medi-tative masterpiece reflects upon the boundaries between intimacy and alienation, tradition and modernity, with the utmost grace.
