The Wind Will Carry Us (Persian: باد ما را خواهد برد, Bād mā rā khāhad bord) is a 1999 Iranian film written and directed by Abbas Kiarostami.

In the film, a journalist posing as a city engineer arrives in a Kurdish village to document the locals' mourning rituals that anticipate the death of an old woman.

[citation needed] A filmmaker and his two assistants (who are heard but never seen) arrive from Tehran to Siah Darreh, a village in Iranian Kurdistan, to film a documentary on Kurdish funeral rites.

During the course of the story, the team director receives calls from Tehran on his mobile phone, which only has coverage at the top of a nearby hill, where the cemetery is located.

In a positive review, Jonathan Rosenbaum wrote, "This ambiguous comic masterpiece could be Abbas Kiarostami's greatest film to date; it's undoubtedly his richest and most challenging... You have to become friends with this movie before it opens up, but then its bounty is endless.

[citation needed] Variety's Scott Foundas placed it ahead of Peter Watkins' La Commune (Paris, 1871) and Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood, writing: "Screened in festivals in 1999, but not released in the US until the following year, this fin de siècle/millennium fable by the great Iranian auteur seemed to anticipate many of the dramatic changes that would sweep through filmmaking over the decade to come.
