TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF CHESS OF THE WIND, MISSISSIPPI RECORDS PRESENTS A SCREENING OF “CHESS OF THE WIND” AT HOLLYWOOD THEATRE

CHESS OF THE WIND
MON, JUN 10 AT 7:00PM

This rediscovered jewel of Iranian cinema has reemerged as one of the most astonishing works of the country’s prerevolutionary New Wave. A hypnotically stylized murder mystery awash in period atmosphere, CHESS OF THE WIND unfolds inside a candlelit mansion, where a web of greed, violence, and betrayal ensnares potential heirs as they vie for control of their matriarch’s estate. Melding the influences of European modernism, gothic horror, and classical Persian art, Mohammad Reza Aslani crafts an exquisitely restrained mood piece that erupts into a subversive final act in which class conventions, gender roles, and time itself are upended with shocking ferocity.
