Abstract

The significance of Dariush Mehrjui’s career background is due to the fact that he has always chosen and made his works in accordance with the realities of his native land. Some local critics have occasionally called him a legitimate child of his own time and some others have accused him of being an opportunist. The debates mentions so far put emphasis on the controversial contents of the works of this director who has been present on the stream of the New Cinema in Iran from the very beginning. The impression he has taken from the modern literature is visible in all his works most of which have been made based on novella and plays. This article as a brief introduction makes an attempt to approach these «Literary Traces» through an overall retrospect upon his works.
