The movies of Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami defy the expectations of
anyone raised on Hollywood or even European films. The Wind Will Carry
Us, for example, is about a filmmaker who comes to a small village where
an old woman is dying, hoping to document a harsh ritual of mourning
practiced by the villagers. Unfortunately for him, the invalid clings to life, and
he spends most of his time driving up and down a mountainside because
his cell phone only gets good reception at the top. But while he waits and
frets, around him the life of the village continues, and this vitality--captured in
moments that seem like a diversion from the movie's supposed storyline--is
fundamentally what The Wind Will Carry Us is about. What seems dull one
moment will suddenly become a rich and subtle expression of human
behavior. A strikingly different cinematic experience.
