    Brilliant

    The movies leaves a deep impact on your heart. Wishing it may never end. Asif Kapadia continues his trait. One of those memorable tragedy movies you cant miss. Reminder of the forgotten history. Such movies are rare. A piece of art.

    Time wasted? YOU wasted time!!

    I just readed the first review, titled "Time wasted".

    This film is about history. History of Azerbaijan. The movie reflects the culture of that region in the years of the World War I.

    What did you expected? Time travel? Laser sabers? Cyborgs?

    Please, go to school. History is not the same that a story.

    Absolutely brilliant

    Absolutely brilliant book and movie, masterfully bringing history, action, and romance together in this beautiful piece of art.

    A very simple movie with a guide to history the world didn't knew.

    A very beautiful movie and an excellent one. cinematography is excellent with beautiful scenes of Azerbaijan. I didn't knew Azerbaijan had mountains and snow till I saw this movie. The movie is set in pre- 1st world war time and after seeing this movie one knows that there is a country named Azerbaijan. The story is a love story set in war period. Its pace is very slow and needless to say as is not a Hollywood movie the sets are fine. The love story of cross culture was very usual in the 1960 and 70s. Most of the scenes of action are in the dialogue form as clear with the case of budget. But considering a movie from Azerbaijan, I think it is a feat itself. A good movie.
