About This Movie

Summit of the Wave is the third installment in that intriguing trilogy about Forough Farrokhzad, you know, the Persian poet whose life was as complex as her work. This doc leans heavily into her theatrical and cinematic ventures, which is a different angle compared to the first two. The pacing is meditative, allowing us to really soak in the atmosphere of her artistic expressions. It’s not just about her poetry; there’s a certain rawness in how it captures her struggles and triumphs in the arts. Nasser Saffarian really brings her world to life, blending visuals that feel both intimate and expansive. The way they showcase her performances has this haunting beauty - it’s like you’re drawn into her psyche, inch by inch. Quite a distinctive take, really.
