Review of Tulpan

The disappearance of characters is not new in the film. Sita never appears in Aravindan's movie "Kanchana Sita" . Sita is the backbone of the story of Kanchan Sita. Aravindan is searching nature through Sita. The popular film "Tulpan" directed by Sergei Dvortsevoy tells a similar story. Released in 2009, the Qazakh film has won numerous awards, including the Cannes. Tulpan is the first full-length story by Dvortsevoy. Dvortsevoy is investigating human life and human trappings through the Qazakh Steppis. Only Asa and his sister, Samal, and brother in law Ondas, his friend Boni, and Ondas' three children are in the movie. Then there's the infinitely spread steppi. The movie starts from the scne in which Asa visiting the house of Tulpan, the supposed bride. Asa is rejected by the girl saying that Asa has big ears like Prince Charles. The steppe shepherds live a very lonely life. Their lives go on with the life of the sheep. Every little impression of a sheep affects the life of the shepherd. Tulpan is a symbol. Every young man in the steppes dreams which cannot be fulfilled. Even Boni, who is always desirous of leaving Steppi, is unable to escape the steppi's bond. Bonni, who owns a large collection of nude photos, is not alone in her quest to go to town. The pics that Boni keeps are his obsession with the city. Boni's attempts to escape to the city every time fails. Despite the failure, the rays of success still seek them. The victory for Ondas is also for Asa and Boni. Asa will be joining us on the journey of the Ondas and Samal from the makeshift shed to the house, and the film gives us hope. Boni alone is disappointed. Sergio Dvortsevoyis shows us human dreams for a better life seldom fulfilled. The film takes us from dreams to the harsh truth of reality.
