A Different Nuance of Silence

Gulbara's Gold Review
 
A DIFFERENT NUANCE OF SILENCE
 
“In the most responsible moments of life, the Kyrgyz people hardly speak; instead, they instinctively rely on signs and gestures.” (From my review of Temir Birnazarov’s film Earrings [Syrga, 2003])
 
“The Kyrgyz men have a tradition: to give the girl they like a pair of earrings. If she accepts them, it means that she agrees to marry. If she does not accept them, it means she refuses the offer of the Dzhigit.” (Temir Birnazarov in the prologue of his film Earrings, 2003)
 
The short film Earrings, directed  by Nargiza Mamatkulova, was filmed in the south of Kyrgyzstan, in Batken, a region clamped between Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Therefore, its color scheme reflects the traditional southern Kyrgyz style: bright, expressive, with the color red prevailing in all its shades.

Tree novellas about young self-absorbed people. The novella "I, Chin-Sy" unravels the image of the hero through the voice-over text. 
 
The artistic decision of the novella "A Pencil against ants" renders the existential collision of a young autistic man through purely cinematic and audiovisual means.
 
The theme reaches its apogee in the art-house "Snooze".
