Abstract

According to Martin Heidegger, the work of art reveals the truth. But this is not in every work of art, but only in a real art! But which work has the possibility of accepting the title of a real art? Heidegger himself has mentioned some of these works. But how can a criterion be extracted from The Origin of the Work of Art? A criterion that can assess whether the work has the ability to approach what Heidegger calls a work of art? Can this criterion be applied to artistic mediums, other than what Heidegger himself discussed? Medium like cinema? In this research, we have tried to provide a criterion for evaluating the film; The terms of this criterion are: non-representation, non-abstraction from everydayness and non-belonging. In the continuation of the research, just to reveal the proposed criterion, the movie The Wind Will Carry Us directed by Abbas Kiarostami was discussed and the criterion terms were evaluated for that movie. This film satisfies the terms of criterion. Based on this, it can be said that based on Heidegger's thought, a criterion can be obtained regarding artistic medium such as cinema.
