International ClassicsWith this landmark debut feature, director Ebrahim Golestan delivered a jolt of modernism to pre-revolution Iranian cinema, laying the groundwork for the country’s first, still often overlooked new wave. When a mysterious woman abandons a baby in the backseat of his cab one night, Tehran taxi driver Hashem is launched on a journey through the city’s unfeeling bureaucracy as he attempts to find a home for the infant—a situation that soon puts him in conflict with his nurturing girlfriend Taji.
(Ebrahim Golestan, Iran, 1964, Persian w/ Eng sub, 130 min, DCP)
