''The Wind Will Cary Us'' is a 1999 Iranian film by Creator/AbbasKiarostami. In it, a man called Behzad comes to a rural Kurdish village, claiming to be an engineer. In truth, Behzad is part of a group of journalists who have come to the village to document the mourning ritual that will occur after a 100 year old woman dies. As the woman takes longer than expected to die, Behzad is forced to spend time in the village interacting with the locals.
!!Tropes
*AuthorAvatar: Behzad is a rather self-critical one for Kiarostami. Kiarostami is an upper-class filmmaker from the city who often makes films about lower-class rural people. Behzad is an upper-class, city-dwelling journalist who only interacts with the villagers for his own personal gain.
*{{Irony}}: A phone call Behzad receives indicates that by remaining in the village to wait for the old woman's funeral, Behzad will miss a funeral in his own family.
*{{Jerkass}}: Behzad. He acts condescending to many of the villagers, attempts to hit on Zeynab(who has a fiancee), is mean to the boy who shows him around the village, and kicks over a turtle.
*RunningGag: Due to the poor reception in the village, every time Behzad's cellphone rings he has to drive to the top of a hill in order to answer it.
*SceneryPorn: Kiarostami sure knows how to photograph landscapes.
*ShoutOut: The film is named for a poem by Forough Farrokhzad.
*TitleDrop: At one point Behzad recites the poem the film is named for.
