My Dream

About This Movie

So, 'My Dream' from 1966 is this interesting drama that dives deep into the lives of two young miners, Sapar and Sharip, fresh out of school and trying to find their footing in a tough world. The film captures the rawness of their experiences in Dzhezkazgan, with Sapar's optimistic energy contrasting sharply against Sharip's jaded cynicism. You really feel the weight of their aspirations and disappointments. The pacing has this deliberate flow that lets you soak in the environment and their struggles, and even though the director remains unknown, the performances really draw you in. It’s a film that seems to reflect on ambition and the harshness of reality, which gives it a distinct atmosphere that lingers long after watching.

This film has seen limited releases over the years, with various formats surfacing but not much in terms of wide availability. Collectors often seek out the rare prints, especially those from the original theatrical run. The scarcity adds to its intrigue and makes it a conversation piece among collectors interested in Soviet-era cinema.
