About How Frightening Is The Darkness Of The Soul!
In this experimental Iranian film, a being who has turned its back on the familiar and ordinary daily life embarks on a quest to find an escape to the beyond. It eventually reaches those who have already attained liberation and joins them. Leaving behind the ruins of its past days, it becomes part of another group of beings from a different world.
Directed by Nasib Nasibi, How Frightening Is The Darkness Of The Soul! leans on a strong ensemble — Mahvash Bargi, Farhad Majd abadi, Shokooh Najm Abadi — 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 mystery titles of 1972.
