Dariush Mehrjui – Gaav AKA The Cow (1969)
This highly symbolic Iranian drama (shot in black-and-white) revolves around the most important figure in a remote rural village. That figure is the village’s sole cow, owned by Mashdi Hassan (Ezat Entezani). The beginning of the film makes clear just how vital the cow is to the life of the village and how much Mashdi and his neighbors cherish it. When the cow is threatened and then killed by members of a nearby clan, Mashdi becomes so distraught that he is gradually transformed into a cow himself. One highlight of this film is the glimpse it offers into a style of rural life which has gone unchanged for thousands of years.

What a wonderful idea to honor the memory of the late and great Dariush Mehrjui, recently found killed, with some of his greatest movies. I invite anyone interested in knowing this master of Iranian cinema to start from The Cow, The Cycle and Hamoun. Thank you, Cinema of the World!
