Mehrjui's third feature, Mr. Naïve (Agha-e Haloo) was a kind a reaction to his unscreened The Cow and it was a box-office hit. His next film, The Postman (Postchi) was a political metaphor based on Karl Buchner's Woyzeck.The Cycle (Dayereh Mina) was kept in the shelves for 4 years and then it turned to be one of Mehrjui s most successful films abroad.
