This idiosyncratic drama from Iran begins as a jeep winds through the hills of Kurdistan, containing an engineer (Behzad Dourani) and his two assistants (whom we never see) as they search for a small village in the mountains. When they arrive, they are greeted by a young boy, who shows them a place they can stay and guides the engineer to the home of an old woman (also never seen) who seems to be dying. No one is sure what the engineer and his men are doing there; some locals think he's keeping

Kiarostami could have just made a documentary, and it would have been fascinating. But his narrative is a way of humbly questioning his own ethics and methods.
In nothing else do all of [Kiarostami's] concerns come together in such a satisfying, complete whole.
One of the 90s' great films.
slowly spellbinding
If you're the sort of person who just adores extremely slow-moving foreign films with a dearth of actual plot, go for it, but the rest of you have been warned.
I remain a devoté of Kiarostami's style, but Wind feels more arid and extended than most of his pictures.
Hypnotic!
Kiarostami, prova mais uma vez o seu grande talento num dos maiores cinemas do mundo: o cinema do Ira.

Trying to bring a connected form of life do a disconnected place doesn't always work. Artistic film slowly unveils it's plot as you watch in slight confusion. Expressions and a culture deeply captured on film.Beautiful film that might be too slow for some taste.
