Even measured against the Iranian and international cinematic treasures of the ‘70s, Aslani’s vision is still breathtakingly distinctive, an incisively devastating social critique embedded in a complex tale of intrigue, greed, oppression, and murder. The film is also, and perhaps most strikingly, a stylistic tour de force.
Chess of the Wind is a shining example of how familiar genres and tones can meld together to form something that feels brand new.
Aslani pulls story threads together with an elegant moving camera that doesn’t immediately give up all the secrets a scene may contain.
It’s somewhat challenging and methodical in its pacing, but if you respond to it — as I did — this ghost from Iran’s 1970s New Wave is a reason to give thanks.
