Pure cinema at its noblest form

This is a masterpiece i can watch and re-watch infinitely.

I recently found by the hazard of my personal succession of cinema sessions, that it could be an oriental answer or retort to the last Bela Tarr movie : The Turin Horse.

I felt or rather discovered (too many references/situations to be the result of chance) that it was a tribute but with the spirit of a rising sun and a touch of russian soul instead of the weight of the void

You will find saturate colors, a beautiful landscape, love in the air ... everything seems to be an opposition or a complementary part like the ying an the yang to the bela tarr movie. Or maybe it is a medicine against the nothingness. Ispytanie represent the bright side of this cinephile diptych.
