Synopsis

A murder mystery in 1920s Tehran, Chess of the Wind unfolds in an ornate, candlelit mansion where a web of greed, violence, and betrayal ensnares the heirs to a family fortune, as they vie for control of their recently-deceased matriarch’s estate—erupting in a ferocious final act.

MUBI's take

Once considered a lost masterpiece, Mohammad Reza Aslani’s delirious melodrama was found in a thrift shop and miraculously restored. Sensually abounding in sumptuous lace and pearls, this decadent parable on the sickness of wealth erupts into a frenzied vortex of murderous mania and feverish lust.
