Uzebek men prefer lazing around doing nothing

Erkak (2005) directed by Yusuf Razykov

"Erkak",is a bold Uzbek film by Yusuf Razykov.Its narrative structure relies more on certain ancient traditional customs still prevalent in central Asia. This is depicted by shooting in one of those areas which are totally cut off from human civilization. The entire film is full of symbolic value about the position of women. Although there is very little information about the reason for the mystery element, the film has nevertheless fine performances by its young protagonist. One major difference between this film and other films with young boy as the man is that those might seem as some sort of "Coming of age" films whereas this film is not at all a "coming of age" film.
