Sadness on Asian steps, 10 April 2008
8/10
Author: Istanbul_2 from Turkey

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

I watched this film at Istanbul Film Festival recently and it certainly placed itself among the top 3 of my favorites this year. What a way to express a man's sadness, desperate situation, and bitterness, due to the loss of his loved ones! And a wonderful way to express a woman's loyalty. It was also great pleasure to watch the wild view of the Asian steppes, while the plot slowly penetrated into my mind and heart. Last but not least, the beautiful actress and her non-exaggerated acting are worth mentioning. Being a person from an eastern culture, this film appealed a lot to me. There is a lot of spirit in the film, with a subtle expression of emotions. All in all, Schlöndorff made my day.
