I Remember You

1986 · 90 min

A slow, meditative journey through memory and landscape, steeped in melancholy and cultural limbo.

Directed by: Ali Khamraev
Genres: Drama
Starring: Vyacheslav Bogachyov, Zinaida Sharko, Gulcha Tashbayeva

Overview: A dying woman’s wish sends her son on a train journey from the steppes of Uzbekistan to the Russian hinterland in search of his father’s grave. Just as the traveler’s home city of Samarkand is situated on the border between East and West, Khamraev balances his film on the edge of two cultures, evoking the soul of Russia and the crumbling beauty of what was once the Silk Road.
