This jewel of pre-revolution New Wave Iranian cinema was only recently rediscovered and restored (courtesy of Martin Scorsese's World Cinema Project) after being banned in Iran for decades. A stylized murder mystery, Mohammad Reza Aslani's Chess of the Wind unfolds in an ornate, candlelit mansion where a web of greed, violence, and betrayal ensnares the heirs to a family fortune as they vie for control of their recently-deceased matriarch’s estate.
