风之棋局

剧情片
伊朗电影杰作《风之棋局》（1976）今年完成修复并参与多个电影节，此前其实很少人看过！这部片在1976年曾入选德黑兰国际电影节并举行试映会，可惜放映被恶意妨碍——放映机发生故障，菲林亦遭到破坏，后来电影节评委将视频从竞赛中撤出。在没有发行商愿意投资的情况下，制片人再没将视频送到任何电影节或举办任何公开放映（据说著名影人Henri Langlois、罗塞里尼和萨耶哲雷在一些私人放映中看过，赞不绝口）。1979年伊斯兰革命后，此片更因其非伊斯兰教内容被禁。随后原底片丢失，坊间只流传一个经审查的低清VHS版本。 佚失四十多年后，导演的儿子竟在一个卖旧戏服配饰的跳蚤市场上，偶然地发现了此片的35毫米底片及声片！他立即买下并送到法国。视频由电影基金会修复，过程更由导演及其女儿亲自监督，此片的摄影师Houshang Baharlou亦亲身参与调色工序...

剧情片
This is an unusual film of exceptional values--75 minutes long in color, with hardly any spoken dialogs. I saw this Iranian film in Farsi without English subtitles at the Early Iranian cinema retrospective on-going International Film Festival of Kerala, India. That I was watching a print without subtitles did not make a difference as there were very few lines of spoken dialogs. This is a very accessible film for any audience to enjoy--its story and values are not merely Iranian, it's universal. The film is set in rural Iran that had not tasted petro-dollar prosperity. The setting is on fringes of desert land, where water is scarce, rainfall scanty and hardly any blade of grass is green. Add to it wind and dust that buffets and whips man and animal and you can imagine plight of the people who live on the fringes of society. The film is moving tale of a young teenager returning to his village with a goat--only to find his family and villagers have moved on to escape natures vagaries and that one old man remains. He gives the goat to him and goes in search of his family. Water is scarce and well water it treated with reverence and never wasted.
