We will be tweeting about the famous milkmaid scene in Abbas Kiarostami's The Wind Will Carry Us (1999). The scene quotes a poem by the Iranian filmmaker and poet Forough Farrokhzad. The scene plays with light and shadow to engage the viewer in questions of heterosexuality and modesty in a film made under the rule of a theocracy, the Islamic Republic of Iran.
