​From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.   Dariush Mehrjui (December 8, 1939 - October 14, 2023) also spelled as Mehrjui Mehrjoui, and Mehrjuyi, was an Iranian director, screenwriter, producer, and film editor. Mehrjui was a founding member of the Iranian New Wave movement of the early 1970s. His second film, The Cow, is considered to be the first film of this movement, which also included Masoud Kimiai and Nasser Taqvai.
