The Wind Will Carry Us (Bad ma ra khahad bord) was the 1999 feature from Palme d'Or winning-Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami, the man behind such accclaimed works as Close Up (Nema-ye Nazdik, 1990), And Life Goes On (Zendegi va diga hich, 1991), A Tastes of Cherry (Ta'm e guilass, 1997) and Ten (2002).

The film documents the arrival of an engineer and his colleagues from Tehran in a remote village in Iranian Kurdistan. Assumed by the locals – with whom they form an ambivalent relationship – to be archaeologists or telecom engineers, the visitors' behaviour and keen interest in the health of an ailing old woman appear strange and their true motives are shrouded in mystery.

Haunting and visually striking, The Wind Will Carry Us is an absorbing, abstract meditation on life and death and the divisions between tradition and modernity that stands among Kiarostami's best works.

The Wind Will Carry Us will be released on UK DVD on 23rd March 2009 by Artificial Eye at the RRP of £19.99. The disc will feature a 1.85:1 anamorphic transfer but the only extra feature is a trailer.
