Lor Girl, (Persian: دخترِ لُر‎‎; Romanized as Dokhtar-e Lor), also known as The Iran of Yesterday and the Iran of Today, was the first sound film ever to be produced in the Persian language. In 1932, it was produced by Ardeshir Irani and Abdolhossein Sepanta under the Imperial Film Company in Bombay.

The movie starred Sepanta himself along with Roohangiz Saminejad, Hadi Shirazi and Sohrab Puri. The filming took only seven months to complete, and the movie arrived in Iran in October 1933. It was released at only two major theatres, Mayak and Sepah.

At the time, Iranians went to the cinema mainly to watch European short comedies, and animated features that were of a political nature. Lor Girl, as the first Iranian film with sound, was an instantaneous success and shows were ultimately sold out.

Synopsis

The movie is about Golnar, a young teahouse girl who was kidnapped as a child and taken to Lorestan with a clan of bandits living among the Lors. The leader of the thieves, Gholi Khan, is beginning to look at her with interest now she is a grown woman. At the teahouse, she meets a young man called Jafar who has been sent to Lorestan by the Iranian government to deal with the problem of banditry in the area. They fall in love, and plan to escape together. Gholi Khan catches on to their plans and beats up Jafar. Jafar rejects Khan's offer to join the bandits, so he is kidnapped and imprisoned.

Dans la première scène du film, nous voyons Ferdowsi qui par la fenêtre de sa maison regarde tristement le pont ruiné de la ville de Tus. À la cour du sultan Mahmoud Ghaznavi, Ferdowsi récite certaines parties de Shah Nameh. La vieillesse du poète est la fin de son histoire et se passe dans l’isolement et l’amertume. De temps en temps, il entend par sa fenêtre les enfants chanter ses vers de Shah Nameh. La scène finale est celle de sa mort : deux hommes portent son cercueil, et derrière eux seule la fille du poète les suit, larmes à l’œil.

L’amour idyllique et fervent d’un jeune bédouin arabe nommé Gheys pour Leyli, la fille d’une famille riche d’un tribut arabe. La folle passion de Gheys lui vaut le surnom de Majnoun, qui veut dire « fou » en arabe. Sepanta en fait une histoire d’amour où l’accent est mis sur la pureté et la véracité d’une grande passion inégalée.
