Bade sorkh (2002) - Red Wind

Directed by Ali Mohammad Ghasemi

Starring Maryam Bagi, Amir Shokr Gozar

A short film (14m) shot in stark black & white with excellent use of natural lighting. 

The story centers on a coffee house where a woman runs in screaming that her husband has been murdered.,what follows is an indication of the harm religious fanaticism can cause especially in an area where religion is a vital part of peoples lives.

Its quite scary that someone who in most parts of the world would be locked up as a dangerous psychotic could (in some places) convince people that he is acting as the hand of God!

Recommended for the cinematography which wouldnt look out of place in a Bergman film. 

Cheers Trev.
