Sadegh Bahrami

Inspired by Iranian folk tales and reputed as the first Iranian musical movie, the film follows the story of the lazybones congenitally bald Hassan who is tricked out of the house by his mother. Then he learns about Chelgis, a girl kidnapped and kept by an ogre in his enchanted garden. Smitten by her beauty, Hassan tries to find a way to save her. In a public bathroom, he encounters his doppelganger. The doppelganger promises to fulfill his wishes in return for a fraction of his life.

A poor villager tumbles into a cave holding a fortune in bejeweled antiquities, launching an allegorical comedy that retains its audacious zing more than thirty years after it aimed a stinging satire at the shah's regime. All power corrupts, as the adage goes, and the hero embraces the power that comes with untold wealth with unseemly glee, indulging in mounting excess and gauche preening that soon make him the marvel of the region.
