That most humanist
..
of cinematic traditions
..
Iranian cinema
..
also the most poetic
..
was birthed by the most humanist
..
& poetic
..
of films
..
The House Is Black
..
A film set
..
in a Leper colony
..
A hard watch?
..
How far the fathom
..
of our high vaunted
..
sympathies?
..
Written & directed
..
by the poet Forough Farrokhzad
..
The woman I imagine
..
writing, with one hand
..
in the earth
..
Her feet
..
in the ocean
..
The wind in her hair
..
& God in her sights
..
