Beyzaie was born in Tehran, to a poet, anthologist and biographer father and a housewife mother. His father made a living through a legal occupation and was able to attend to his literary interests reasonably.Beyzai attended the Dar’ol-Fonoun high school as an adolescent, where he did not spend a good time getting along, skipped classes and went to the movies, and in his late teens composed his earliest dramatic pieces.
In his films, Beyzaie often experiments with narrative structure, blending poetic imagery, symbolism, and non-linear storytelling. For example, in Bashu, the Little Stranger, he juxtaposes the harsh realities of war with tender human connections, creating a story that resonates across cultures and generations. His theater works, similarly, often employ puppetry, allegory, and historical references to challenge audiences intellectually and emotionally.
