	AsiaticaFilmMediale
		Forough Farrokhzad (Teheran, 1935-1967) is the greatest Iranian poetess of the XX century.
		Forough Farrokhzad, as an Iranian intellectual, was a “sensitive aerial” of the spirit of her age and her poetry echoes worries that are not only personal to the artist but also social.
		Farrokhzad’s poems, that for a long time have been labelled by short-sighted literary critics as intimist, are on the contrary characterised by a powerful “literary ambiguity”, the stylistic figure of all Persian literature.

	filmjourney.org : The House is Black
		Thus begins the narration in Forough Farrokhzad's The House is Black (1962), a landmark short film (roughly 20 minutes) by one of Iran's most venerated modern poets, a woman killed at the age of 32 in a car accident whose writing still permeates Iranian culture.
		Farrokhzad's film may be a "poetic treatment of leprosy," but it's also a factual and clear-eyed documentary on the daily routines in a leper colony near Tabriz in northern Iran.
		Farrokhzad's opening shot is emblematic of her approach--a medium shot of a woman with leprosy with her face partially covered by a veil, the camera slowly and compassionately zooming in to a close-up of her reflection in a mirror.

	Cold Season (Fasle Sard) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		This volume completed the Farrokhzad canon, totaling some 127 poems in five collections, together with a handful of poems published in magazines but not anthologized, and a small, but unknown number of unpublished poems.
		All of her verse could thus be comfortably published in a single, moderately sized volume, which means that Farrokhzad's remarkable impact is far in excess of the amount of her published poetry.
		Farrokhzad herself must have felt that did not involve grand expectation or ambitions, as she reveals in an early 1965 poem first published in Arash called "Window." The poem's opening of "One Window for seeing / One window for hearing /É one window is enough for me" becomes a refrain.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: The House is Black
		A male voice (whose detached matter-of-factness brings to mind a contemporary Jean-Luc Godard at his most bemused) unpacks the medical implications of the condition, gently reminding the audience that leprosy is a treatable condition, provided the proper expediency, in what constitutes the film's most salient instance of activism.
		But between the clinical dialogue (in every sense of the definition) are snips of poetry by Farrokhzad, read by the author herself, that elevates the colony's plight to the level of that Old Testament paragon of unanswered and cruel kismet: Job.
		If Farrokhzad's poetic sensibilities were said to be both preoccupied with Eastern mores and influenced by Western modernism, then The House is Black authoritatively clears the path for such aesthetic dilettantism.

		The most favorable reactions included a perhaps begrudging admission that readers could no longer think of Farrokhzad as a remarkable poetess, but rather Another Birth showed her to be a remarkable poet.
		For Farrokhzad herself, the contents of the volume represented 'a new birth' as a poet.
		An interview Farrokhzad gave on modernist Persian poetry about a year and a half before her death highlights in a most telling way further subtle dimensions of this never-ending struggle that poet faced throughout her adult life.

	Foroukh FARROKHZAD- poèmes
		Farrokhzad's first collection, of forty-four poems including all those cited and quoted called (the) captive, was published in the early summer of 1955.
		The immediacy and intensity of reader reaction to the personal, autobiographical voice in The Captive derived in large measure, of course, from their unprecedented feminine character.
		But even had Farrokhzad speakers, content, and perspectives been "masculine", the poems in The Captive and her subsequent collections would have provoked strong reader response because of a second, almost equally provocative feature: their "modernist" as opposed to "traditionalist" character.
