Directors Series: Ali Hatami

Desiderium (1978)
January 11th at 7pm. Chrysler Center, Chesebrough Auditorium

Desiderium lyrically charts the hapless loves of a three brother:
Majid, they young handicapped brother with a deformed head falls in
love with Aghdas, a prostitute hired by his eldest brother Habib to
entertain him, not knowing the truth about her profession. Karim,
the middle brother is so infatuated with a quail that he almost
completely ignores his wife and her emotions. Habib himself is in
love with Foroogh, a tailor lady who lives with them, while his sense
of responsibility about Majid keeps him from requiting her affections.
