I was at the Cannes film festival last year and really regret passing up the chance to see this one, especially when lead actress Samal Yeslyamova won the Best Actress prize unanimously. I think it’s such an important story that you’d hardly see outside of Russia. It’s about a Kazakh woman living illegally in Moscow. She survives on her wits after fleeing from the hospital she just gave birth to her daughter in. It didn’t end up moving on from the shortlist for the Oscars, which is a shame because I think they would’ve given this movie the publicity it deserves. Still have my fingers crossed for a North American release! Maybe Criterion will pick it up for a release. Anyway, I just wanted to share the trailer! Let me know what you guys think.
