The Chess Game of the Wind is Mohammad Reza Aslani’s first feature film starring Fakhri Khorvash, Mohammad Ali Keshavarz, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Akbar Zanjanpour and Shahram Golchin, which was released in 1976. At the time of its release, the film did not receive much attention from critics and audiences for various reasons, although Mohammad Reza Aslani believes that this negligence was intentional. With the Islamic Revolution, this film, like others of its kind, could not be watched by the viewers, and The Chess Game of the Wind was forgotten for a long time. But in 2015, the Martin Scorsese Film Foundation revived this unique film. With the support of this foundation and Mohammad Reza Aslani himself, The Chess Game of the Wind was restored and found another opportunity to be unveiled to new audiences, and now it could once again attract the attention of critics, which of course was highly acclaimed such that it was selected by the jury at the Cannes Film Festival 2020 and will be screened in the classic film group alongside Pier Paolo Pasolini’s “Acatone”.
It can be said that the film has a surreal genre and is considered as one of the new wave and avant-garde films of Iranian cinema. Few films can be found in the persian cinema that strongly adhere to framing, color palette, mise-en-scene, dialogue, location and most importantly, era of their story. The most important feature of the film can be considered the great adaptation of the mentioned cinematic features with the atmosphere. Mohammad Reza Aslani states that he has tried as much as possible to portray the Qajar life with maximum adaptation and has been determined and successful in his true meaning.
The Chess Game of the Wind is not only qualified to be seen again, but it is a new beginning for such films in cinema. Movies that “take something from life and add something to it.” Movies that are truly masterpieces. Films that are not just for cinema … they are for thoughts … for thoughts and for culture.
Here I have prepared parts of the movie as a trailer that I hope you enjoy.
This is The Chess Game of the Wind
