About Under the Skin of the Night
In one of his daily wanderings, Ghasem Siah, a young jobless guy who leads a street life, runs into a young American tourist girl who is spending her last day in Tehran. Without understanding each other's words, they strike up a friendship and the girl accepts to sleep with him. But Ghasem doesn't have a place of his own and the girl is about to depart by the next morning. Together they set off on the glistening yet hostile streets of modernizing Tehran of the 70s, in a futile search of a corner of intimacy, while time is ticking away....
Directed by Fereydoun Gole, Under the Skin of the Night leans on a strong ensemble — Morteza Aghili, Susan Gilber, Mehri Vadadian — 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 drama titles of 1974.
