The Wind will Carry Us – Iranian Cinema

The Wind Will Carry Us is a 1999 Iranian film written and directed by Abbas Kiarostami. The title is a reference to a poem written by the modern Iranian poet Forough Farrokhzad. The film was nominated for the Golden Lion at the 56th Venice International Film Festival.
