Comments
Rashomon
Innovation of form as Deleuze understood it.
The Land of Fathers
The best Kazakh film of the Soviet era, in which there is a dialogue between civilisations – Muslim and Christian, settled and nomadic, etc.
Teorema
A film where aesthetics, philosophy and art are all on the same level.
NEBO NASHEVO DETSTVA
The film refers to the "Kyrgyz miracle": national identity as opposed to Soviet ideology.
BOM, TEOREUM, GAEUL, GYEOWOOL, GEURIGO, BOM
Not only Buddhist philosophy and the temptations of ordinary life are presented in this film, but all cycles of human life are reflected.
Harmony Lessons
The best Kazakh film of the era since independence, awarded the Silver Bear at the Berlinale.
BESHKEMPIR
The best Kyrgyz film of the era since independence, in which national culture is very clearly represented.
GABBEH
This film seems to be a love story, but it shows the fundamental principles of human existence.
Inception
A revolutionary film that introduces a new concept of time.
Ship of Theseus
A philosophical film that makes you think about the destiny of man.
