Death of Yazdgerd
1982 · 113 MIN · IMDB 8.3 · 1,060 VOTES · DIR. Bahram Beyzai
Overview
A poetic imagining of the circumstances leading to the death of Yazdgerd III, the last of the Sassanid kings of Iran. His death in 651, during the Arab invasions that brought Islam to this Zoroastrian realm, remains mysterious: his corpse is discovered in a mill, but the cause of death—and the whereabouts of his remains—are unknown.

01:04:36 I did not kill him. That was a false account.
01:09:03 He who sleeps here is my father.
01:14:10 And when we return that man's face...
01:20:02 A ripe fruit, which should be picked. Be quicker!
