Gabbeh / int_246989a4 | comment |
Circling Vultures: Abbas says "Life is color!", and there's a sequence of the various dyes that the family uses to dye wool. Then he says "Death is—", and there's a cut to black, before a shot of a single vulture, circling in the sky. This introduces the sequence in which Gabbeh's little sister falls off a mountain pass and dies. | |

The Faceless | |
Gabbeh / int_7abba202 | comment |
The Faceless: Gabbeh's lover is only ever seen from a distance, on horseback, calling to Gabbeh by imitating the call of a wolf. Even at the end, where he comes galloping in to take Gabbeh away, the scene is shot from a distance, and all we can see is that Gabbeh's lover is young and has a beard. | |

Foreshadowing: The old husband washing the "gabbeh" rug by the stream falls in love with Gabbeh. As his own wife stalks off in a snit, the old man professes his love for Gabbeh, saying "You don't love me!" and making the same wolf call that the young lover did. The ending reveals that the old husband and wife are in fact Gabbeh and her lover, decades in the future. | |
