The Cohen Media Group has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray release of acclaimed Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami's
The Wind Will Carry Us (1999). The release will be available for purchase on July 22.
Synopsis: Palme d'Or winning-director Abbas Kiarostami's (
Certified Copy,
Like Someone in Love) acclaimed film documents the arrival of an engineer and his colleagues from Tehran in a remote village in Iranian Kurdistan. Assumed by the locals with whom they form an ambivalent relationship to be archaeologists or telecom engineers, the visitors behaviour and keen interest in the health of an ailing old woman appear strange and their true motives are shrouded in mystery. Haunting and visually stunning,
The Wind Will Carry Us is an absorbing abstract meditation on life and death and the divisions between tradition and modernity that stands among Kiarostami s best works.
Special Features:
- Filmed conversation between director Abbas Kiarostami and Richard Peņa
- Feature-length audio commentary by critic Jonathan Rosenbaum and scholar Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa
