Delhoreh

Film noir in Tehran

Delhoreh is an intriguing film noir/horror hybrid by Iranian director Samuel Khachikian that was released in 1962. The wife of a wealthy industrialist gets trapped in a blackmailing spiral from which the only way out seems to be murder, but is it? It does remind of French noir masterpieces such as Henri-Georges Clouzot&apos;s, although the American influence and haunting aesthetics probably inspired by John Alton remain present throughout the movie, making the strong anxiety the main character suffers from very contagious to the audience. A must see for all cinema lovers who really wish to dig more deeply into the film noir universe.
