“Zere” is the full-length debut of Kazakhstani director Dauren Kamshibaev. The movie was made with the assistance of the students from Taraz Film School, a free movie school founded by him.
The fisherman Kadyr has drowned at work. The local wastrel Makosh threatens his bereaved family that he will announce the late man’s debt on the day of his funeral, putting shame on his family. Kadyr’s widow Sarah (Olga Landina) finds a way to pay it off which involves her daughter Zere (Adina Bazhan), but her plan falls apart when her late husband’s brother arrives.
Looking at “Zere”, one would never guess that it is made with the help of students from the director’s movie school. Each scene is created with a great attention to detail. Many of them are nearly perfect, their symmetrical composition and use of color at times reminding of the work of Wes Anderson.
