Review of Tulpan (2009) by Generoso F — 27 May 2009
Documentary filmmaker Sergei Dvortsevoy's first narrative feature is nothing short of an astonishing masterpiece. A sailor, Asa ( Askhat Kuchencherekov) has come to the Hunger Steppe region of Kazakhstan to become a sheepherder but must marry in order to fulfill this role so he sets his sights on the only maiden in the area, the title character Tulpan who is brilliantly kept off screen for most of the film.
Asa's performance in the film is remarkable as are the performances of the other actors but it's their work in conjunction with the work of the animals in the film that makes this experience miraculous in it's execution.
