The work and its context
Rabihavi’s contribution begins at the story stage. Soureh Cinema places Chrysanthemums under initial story outlines, while Salam Cinema credits Fereydoun Jeyrani for the screenplay and Rasul Sadr Ameli for direction. Those are separate contributions to the same film. Source 28 · Source 29
The industry record describes a family drama shaped by a father’s long prison sentence after the death of a friend. It records the production year as 1363 in the Solar Hijri calendar. The 1984–85 range is a calendar guide; it supplies no precise release day. Source 29
In a 2021 Cinema Museum interview conducted by Jeyrani, Sadr Ameli recalls encountering Rabihavi’s story and developing the film with Jeyrani’s screenplay. This later testimony adds the director’s account of the adaptation while preserving the original-story, screenplay and directing credits as separate roles. Source 51
