Tashkent, the City of Bread
1968 ยท 1 hr 37 mins
Beautifully shot in black and white, and scripted by Tarkovsky's collaborator Andrei Konchalovsky, this powerful melodrama tells the story of a young boy who undertakes the perilous journey to Uzbekistan's capital Tashkent, to earn some money for his hungry family. Filming in the periphery of the Soviet Union, in a time of relative political relaxation, director Shukhrat Abbasov actually dared to depict the poverty and famine that resulted from the Bolshevik Revolution.
Director: Shukhrat Abbasov
Cast: Vladimir Vorobey, Vova Kudenko, Bakhtiyar Nabiyev, Natalya Arinbasarova, Nikolai Timofeyev
