Kamran Shirdel – Tanhaee-ye Avval AKA Solitude Opus 1 (2002)
Begins with a narration extolling the virtues of a solar energy complex over maps and shots of the place. The focus then shifts to an elderly gentleman lumbering about a section of the complex not doing much of anything. The film unfolds in near total silence save the waves crashing against the shoreline nearby, occasional gusts of wind, and a closing excerpt from Vivaldi’s Sonata No. 6 in A Minor. At one point, a few police cars drive up, but nothing much comes of it. Then we are taken inside the man’s small room to catch glimpses of his daily life. Very reminiscent of Saless’ Still Life, with no dialogue after the opening narration, which by the end appears to have been rather sardonic, if not poignant. Produced by Filmgrafic, the company Shirdel founded in 1968.
