Foreign Oscar Entry Review: Kurmanjan Datka Queen of the Mountains by Carlos Aguillar

Ноябрь 2, 2014 at 6:18PM / SydneysBuzz

"Kurmanjan Datka Queen of the Mountains," Kyrgyzstan's Official Submission for Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards. U.S: None Yet. Production Company: Aitysh Film

 

Retaining cultural authenticity in the face of foreign influence seems to have been the most arduous battle for Kyrgyz people throughout their turbulent history. Overcoming more than a century of Soviet control, before independence in 1991, was the final step for these mostly-nomadic people to finally have a recognized nation of their own. Kyrgyzstan, however, remains an unknown part of the world for most Westerners.

Paul Keelan's review about The Move by Marat Sarulu
 

Marat Surulu’s The Move, a rare film festival entry for the nation of Kyrgyzstan, is a laborious, meditative, and plodding film. Though the sedating tendencies of its pace stymie the easy enjoyment of the nearly three hour epic, The Move will crawl into one’s senses as Surulu hypnotizes the viewer with beautiful cinematography. The mise-en-scene of the film is persistently immaculate.
