Chess of the Wind (1976) 2021

In the ornate, candlelit halls of a family mansion, a sinister game unfolds. Heirs to a deceased matriarch's estate manipulate and scheme, as greed, violence, and betrayal ensnare them in a web of deceit. This hypnotic murder mystery, set amidst shivery period atmosphere, masterfully blends European modernism, gothic horror, and classical Persian art, culminating in a shocking subversion of class conventions, gender roles, and time itself.
