It builds on several of filmmaker Assel Aushakimova\u2018s previous works, as a chronicler of Kazakhstan\u2019s journalism, as well as its <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a> and familial fabrics. The movie often meanders, but its laid-back <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>roach mirrors the frustrating ennui its story seeks to capture, for better and for worse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Actress Saltanat Nauruz, who led Aushakimova\u2019s first feature \u201cWelcome to the U.S.A.,\u201d reteams with the writer-director for her sophomore effort. Nauruz plays Dina, a field reporter disillusioned with the manufactured slice-of-life stories she\u2019s forced to cover and a woman who can\u2019t quite find the right avenues to channel her professional drive. Aushakimova\u2019s camera follows her from story to story, capturing the daily indignities of having to lie to her audience about various government campaigns, which leads to withholding but observational scenes where no one is really passionate about these lies \u2014 from the film crew to their low-level government subjects \u2014 but everyone mechanically plays along.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    One such scene, in which Dina tries to film a fake initiative where police interact with citizens by the road, expands on Aushakimova\u2019s 2020 short \u201cComrade Policeman,\u201d though the film as a whole plays like the culmination of all her thematic musings to date, across her one feature and various shorts. For instance, wedges driven between sisters is a recurring premise, which takes root in \u201cBikechess\u201d in the form of Dina\u2019s queer younger sister Zhanna (Assel Abdimavlenova), a radical activist who puts her body on the line for the causes in which she believes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Meanwhile, Dina remains unable and unwilling to break free from her confines, though the film doesn\u2019t usually modulate this premise or allow it to evolve in intriguing ways. This is, in some sense, the point: \u201cBikechess\u201d represents how little in Dina\u2019s immediate sphere actually changes when no one seems willing to break the mold and challenge either Kazakhstan\u2019s power structures or its entrenched conservative norms. In the process, however, the film\u2019s dry, acerbic wit is very rarely politically incendiary or dramatically piercing. It\u2019s a film that simmers on a medium flame and makes its central point very early into its runtime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    It does feature the intimate subplot of Dina\u2019s affair with her married cameraman (Shyngys Beibituly). This illicit romance is depicted through a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">series<\/a> of electric silences \u2014 the actors\u2019 body language is explosive, especially when their characters are forced to be coy \u2014 but disappointingly little actually comes of this exciting throughline, for no other reason than their dynamic simply petering out seems like the most realistic possibility, given the circumstances of Dina\u2019s job. It\u2019s \u201creal,\u201d but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s necessarily engaging. The film\u2019s commitment to naturalism extends to a lack of music, though this unfortunately leads to several instances of dead air, sans any meaningful artistic commentary<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Aushakimova and cinematographer Aidar Ospanov take an unobtrusive, almost documentarian approach to each scene, which works to capture reaction shots that comment on various ongoing government rigmaroles. However, its more personal narratives, involving Dina and her immediate circle, often end up approached as superficially as the fluff pieces she\u2019s forced to cover, with no real recourse. While this yields a film that wholly embodies the lack of possibility it depicts, the result isn\u2019t always alluring or stimulating enough to make its case in more than a distant, academic manner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
