About Desert Ghoul
A few men and women who went to the desert for a picnic meet two "giants". The giants fight because of one of the girls and their work is dragged to the city. Urban civilization gradually turns them into two different beings. Desert giants learn how to live and love in the city and then return to their village with the girls they have married.
Directed by Azizollah Rafiei, Desert Ghoul leans on a strong ensemble — Iloush Khoshabe, Khalil Oghab, Sorayya Beheshti — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1969.
