Today in Kinokultura: Review about dilogy 'Finding Mother'

 

When 'Finding Mother 2' premiered in Bishkek in February 2019 and the film crew stepped onto the stage, it consisted only of young people. The course of time is relentless, and high-grade film crews in Kyrgyzstan are already formed of the generation born in the late 1980s and early 1990s. There is practically only one older (episodic) role in the film, which is performed by the national actress of the Kyrgyz Republic, Djamilia Sydykbaeva. She plays a close relative of the new heroes, Murat and Aliya, brother and sister who were orphaned in their early childhood. If the bulk of the first film of the dilogy 'Finding Mother' was shot in California (US), then the majority of the second film is shot in the Turkish city of Antalya.
