Criterion Collection The mysteries of everyday life come into astonishing focus in one of Abbas Kiarostamis greatest cinematic achievements. A slyly self-reflexive commentary on the directors 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 villages funeral rites is continually frustrated by an elderly womans refusal to die. Along the way, though, he forges surprising, unsettling, and enlightening connections with those he meets. Suffused with Kiarostamis love for people, poetry, and the arid beauty of rural Iran, this meditative masterpiece reflects upon the boundaries between intimacy and alienation, tradition and modernity, with the utmost grace.
