Ghazal (1975 film)

Ghazal (Persian: غزل‎) is a 1975 Iranian film directed by Masoud Kimiai. It stars Mohammad Ali Fardin, Faramarz Gharibian and Pouri Banayi. It is based on the short story "The Interloper", written by Jorge Luis Borges.[1] Because Fardin had been typecast as a happy-go-lucky person who always appeared in movies with happy endings, this film was a departure for him and was not successful at the box office.

gollark: I mean, at some point it'll just disappear into random noise and whatever.
gollark: Oh, and marginally increasing niceness/badness is probably not very noticeable?
gollark: Obviously you can use new innovations like ultrahyperbases, but there are finitely many of those.
gollark: Or they just get submerged in it and adding more isn't useful.
gollark: I mean, you can make the world worse by covering everything in ultrahyperacid, but you can only add so much ultrahyperacid to constantly dissolve everyone's skin before they get used to it.
