Preview of "Nomad"
Wednesday, January 17, 2007
Set in the 18th-century Kazakhstan, the movie follows the story of a young man destined to unite the country's warring tribes. The estimated budget of $40,000,000 makes it the most expensive Kazakh movie ever made and some critics say this shows in the movie.
Though the trailer is a little dull, from what I've read and seen so far, it seems Nomad is a good movie. I have to agree though that casting Jay Hernandez and Kuno Becker as main carachters in a film about Kazakhs is not really a struck of genius nor does it improve the feeling of authenticity of the picture.
The worldwide version was premiered at the Locarno Film Festival on 5 August 2006, and the North American release is scheduled for January 26 in the USA.
