The Wind Will Carry Us

The Wind Will Carry Us Persian , Bd m r khhad bord is a 1999 Iranian film by Abbas Kiarostami. The title is a reference to a poem written by the modern Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad.

Behzad, Keyvan, Ali and Jahan who are journalists but pretend to be production engineers arrive in a Kurdish village to document the locals mourning rituals that anticipate the death of an old woman, but she remains alive. The main engineer is forced to slow down and appreciate the lifestyle of the village.The Wind Will Carry Us is a poetic interpretation of issues such as life and death, the modern and traditional, and the local and global. A traditional village with its old rituals and laidback life is visited by three strangers whose intentions are mysteriously kept back from the village. A cell phone connects the remote village to an external world that seems to be waiting for the ancient to die. The urbanite visitors interfere with the mundane routines of secluded lives, metaphorically portrayed when the engineer named Behzad enters a barn to buy milk from a young girl. At times, the local appears to be defenseless regarding his presence, and is simply accommodating other times, however, she is clearly irritated. The two worlds do not confront each other, however, nor do old and new. Rather, these binary oppositions melt in a poetic landscape that shies away from providing answers. There are several references to the poems of Iranian poets such as Omar Khayym and Forough Farrokhzad in the film that are all about the ideas of life and death. ........
