Iran, 1972, Bahram Beyzaie
The entrancing first feature by esteemed Iranian moviemaker and theater director Bahram Beyzaie (Bashu, the Little Stranger) is one of the key works of Iran’s pre-revolution “New Wave.” Restored from the only known film print, the work employs humor and style to tell of a newly-arrived schoolteacher who falls for the beautiful sister of one of his unruly students. But she is betrothed to a wealthy butcher. “What appears to be just a charming comic romance is in fact a sober indictment of life in shah-era Tehran.” –Wall St. Journal. “One of the most accessible and beloved Iranian New Wave films.” –Museum of Modern Art. Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 129 min. General admission $12; members, CIA/CSU I.D. holders, age 25 & under $9. www.janusfilms.com/films/2143
