The Cow (Gaav)

The Film That Changed The Art of Filmmaking in Iran Forever

A film by Dariush Mahrjui, in Farsi with English subtitles, Black & White (DVD)

Original release: 1968 - New release: Aug 2004



Influenced by Italian Neorealism, The Cow has the beauty and simplicity associated with
the great films of that movement. In a small village in Iran, Hassan cherishes his cow more
than anything in the world. While he is away, the cow mysteriously dies, and the villagers
protectively try to convince Hassan the cow has wandered off. Grief stricken, Hassan begins
to believe he is his own beloved bovine. The Cow won great acclaim at the Venice Film
Festival after being smuggled out of Iran in 1971, and was twice voted the best Iranian film
ever made by a survey of Iranian film critics.
