Cinema Club Film Screening: Tahir and Zuhra

“Takhir and Zukhra are childhood sweethearts brought up together at the royal court, only to be torn apart as teenagers when Takhir is banished from the kingdom. Shot in shimmering black-and-white by Daniil Demutsky, the great cinematographer who shot Dovzhenko’s Arsenal and Earth, with eye-filling sets and costumes, Takhir and Zukhra is a feast for the eyes and ears, with the magically beautiful Gulyam Aglayev and Yuldus Rysayeva as the enchanted lovers.”
