Ulzhan
Ulzhan is a 2007 international coproduction directed by Volker Schlndorff, starring Philippe Torreton, Ayanat Ksenbai formerly credited as Ayana Yesmagambetova and David Bennent.
In Germany Ulzhan received predominantly positive press reviews. Lidia Louk The Epoch Times wroth Ulzhan was besides a human drama also a satire about a society which had to accomplish a swift change from communism to turbocapitalism. HansBernhard Moeller associate professor of Germanic Studies at the University of Texas at Austin and George Lellis professor of communication at Coker College honoured Ulzhan by publishing an indepth review of 3582 words titled Ulzhan Schlndorffs Globalized Eastern Western. Their essay attests Volker Schlndorff to have made abstract issues seizable through transposing the conventions of the Western into the frontier between Europe and Asia physically, intellectually, and spiritually. They also certified Ulzhan a special complexity achieved by its refusal to let its themes be reduced to a simple bipolar opposition. Varietys very different review just compared Ulzhan with another film and came finally to a mathematical result which stated thatreel of The Treasure of the Sierra Madre delivered more clashes and oral exposition than thereels of Ulzhan. ABCs Julie Rigg compared Ulzhan instead with Paris, Texas and found it haunting but at the same time mysterious and beautiful.
