Modern Iranian cinema entered a new stage with Dariush Mehrjui. His early masterpiece, The Cow (1970), took the symbolic realism of Iranian art cinema to a new level. As an Iranian New Wave cinema icon, his films bear some resemblance with those of Rossellini, De Sica and Satyajit Ray, but he also adds something distinctively Iranian to his works. Most of his films are inspired by literature and adapted from Iranian and foreign novels and plays.
