Trivia
When Na'i becomes sick and the villagers won't help, Bashu performs a zar ceremony. Zar refers to an African belief that the body has been possessed by an evil wind, and in order to be cured, a ceremony involving drumming and chanting must take place to subdue the wind and return the afflicted to health. It was brought to Iran by Africans (many of them through the slave trade).

The best Iranian Film

Bashu is an amazing movie by any standard. I have watched Kiarostami, Makhmalbaf, Panahi, Majidi, but Beyzai supersedes them all inthis great film.

The story is nothing new and nor is it complex. But the way the director showed the complex undertones of complete stranger Bashus psychology was astounding.

My hats off to Beyzai: "YOU ARE THE MASTER"
