Tasfiya

About This Movie

Tasfiya is a fascinating dive into the realms of fantasy, set against the backdrop of a remote Tajik village. The cinematography captures the stony, rugged beauty of the landscape, almost like a character in itself. The tale of Shams and Mekhri is steeped in themes of love, betrayal, and the absurdity of fate. When Mekhri's impulsive decision breaks an oath, it sends Shams spiraling into a surreal existence, blurring the lines between reality and puppet-like farce. The pacing feels intentionally languid, allowing the viewer to savor each moment of tension and release. It's got this unique vibe, a blend of traditional storytelling with a twist of the bizarre—definitely a distinctive piece for any collector interested in unconventional narratives.
