Abstract

Cinema and poetry are two artistic fields whose distance from each other at their Junction is close to imagination. On the other hand, pure cinematic expression has always intended to reveal within itself a reflection of ontological attitudes that are somehow the essence of pure poetry. In this article, the work of a poet filmmaker, Ingmar Bergman and his famous film Silence and the work of a filmmaker poet, Forugh Farrokhzad and his poetry (Wind-Up Doll), are examined in a comparative study with the aim of examining the correspondence between these two categories. The main objective of this study is to understand the narrative in the poetry of (Wind-Up Doll) Forugh Farrokhzad and the film Silence of Ingmar Bergman. The reasons for this choice are the Forugh Farrokhzad’s interest in this work of Bergman and the similar look of the two artists in this work. The study shows that two works use the same plot to express themselves, and the minimalist view of both focuses on the ontological approach. In this study, the characters in the narrative of the film Silence of Bergman were also compared and examined with the poetic statements of Forugh Farrokhzad to answer the main question of how can the similarities of the poetic (Wind-Up Doll) with the film Silence of Bergman be explained in the field of narration? Answered. The results of the study in the three analytical fields of narrative, character and image in the poem of the (Wind-Up Doll) and the film Silence show that what the filmmaker has briefly shown in his work and the Forugh Farrokhzad has combined and reflected in his poetic propositions with its influence, has identical characteristics; that is, the film has a poetic expression and the poem has more of a cinematic image effect.
