The tune of Iran.
After catching Jess Franco's fun Robinson and His Tempestuous Slaves (1972-also reviewed),I decided that I'd make a 1972 double bill. Checking titles from the year waiting to be seen,I found an intriguing-sounding Iranian short,which led to me picking up the ney.
View on the short:
Playing out in a thick bronze tint, director Khosrow Sinai glowingly uses the colour styling to capture the 200 years history of the instrument and of player Hussein Yavari, via winding panning shots over photos of Yavari's childhood curling to the outdoors with narration from Sinai over how the sound of the ney continues to be heard with each passing decade. The lone person in the movie, Yavari is a captivating figure, who opens up that the instrument has been the one thing that has stayed with him his whole life, and beautifully plays the ney.
