Ulzhan (2007)
A never empty desert
4 March 2010 - 9 out of 10 users found this review helpful.
This film is a road movie with no road, a journey without goal and some beings who are no more or not yet human. But they are and that keeps your eyes on the screen.
The movie is a spiritual quest filmed with "a sort of" realism. The beautiful landscapes of the steppe are full of oil wells or ruined kholkoz or nuclear test ground. Characters are alive, even when they are, like the main character, dead inside.
You have to find your own moral of this story. It depends probably on where you are on your own way. Anyway, Ulzhan can help you to think of life, death, rebirth and many other topics. Magical with no magic, this never empty desert waits for what you will pour inside.
