Tulpan (2008)


IMDb plot summary: On the steppes of Kazakhstan, Asa lives in a yurt with his sister Samal, her husband Ondas, and their three children. Asa, a dreamer who's slight of build and recently finished with a stint in the Russian Navy, tries to establish a life on the steppes. He, his friend Boni, and Ondas call on Tulpan, the only single girl in the area.
Directed by Sergei Dvortsevoy. Starring Askhat Kuchencherekov, Topelbergen Baisakalov, Samal Yeslyamova, and Ondas Besikbasov.

This movie moves very slowly, with lots of slice-of-life scenes of people examining sheep or kids just running around and playing. It fits pretty well overall into the story, though. I don't have a lot of strong feelings about this one, and therefore not actually that much to say about it. I'm not totally sold on the ending, but overall it's decent.

How it entered my Flickchart:
Tulpan < The Fighter
Tulpan > Chocolat
Tulpan > The High and the Mighty
Tulpan > Trading Places
Tulpan > American Hustle
Tulpan < Amazing Grace
Tulpan > Fargo
Tulpan > Julie & Julia
Tulpan > The 'Burbs
Tulpan < Killing Season

Final spot: #1472 out of 2844.
