Chess of the Wind

Monday, November 25 7pm

Like nothing else you will see onscreen this year. Made and banned in pre-revolution Iran and unseen again until 2020, Mohammad Reza Aslani’s film rarely leaves the walls of an oppressively opulent house as a family squabbles over an inheritance. Betrayal, murder, and other less tangible dreads rear their heads. Do not miss. -Lee Gardner

1976 Dir. Mohammad Reza Aslani. 1.85:1 Color DCP 93 min. In Farsi with subtitles.
