Our take

Atıf Yılmaz’s ‘70s adaptation of Chinghiz Aitmatov’s classic novel masterfully weaves universal questions of love and duty into an enthralling narrative, subtly adorned with nuanced performances and an evocative score. A timeless exploration of the human heart, resplendent in its cinematic finesse.
