The Wind Will Carry Us - The Criterion Collection

£22.99

Released: 2nd June 2025. 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.   Film Info Iran, France 1999 118 minutes Color 1.85:1 Persian Spine #1261   BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES 4K restoration, with uncompressed monaural sound-track A Week with Kiarostami (1999), a documentary by Yuji Mohara on the making of the film Interview from 2002 with director Abbas Kiarostami New video essay presenting Kiarostami’s poetry narrated by Massoumeh Lahiji, a longtime translator and creative collaborator of the director’s Trailer New English subtitle translation PLUS: An essay by poet and novelist Kaveh Akbar New cover by Eric Skillman
