On June 22, the Golden Goblet Award Ceremony of the 26th Shanghai International Film Festival was held. The Kazakhstan film "divorce" won the best film and best actress awards.
"Divorce" tells the story of Salim Sak, an ordinary Kazakh on the grassland in the mid-1920s, who was rejected by his wife for disgracing his family because he acted as a woman in a drama against polygamy. He accidentally said "talaq" during the argument. According to local religious tradition, as long as a husband says "talaq" three times to his wife, it means divorce. Salimsak, who had never thought about leaving his wife, prayed everywhere for a solution, but his wife came up with the idea of divorce under the influence of the popular slogan of "women's liberation"...
Director Danyal Salamat revealed that he The film has been in preparation for ten years. "This film has a very strong sense of history. Filming a film with this theme requires a lot of financial investment. Most of our funds come from national foundations," Dani said. Yal Salamat hopes that through this film, he can show everyone how a person and a family have changed during this period of time, and through the living conditions of a woman, he can let everyone see the changes of that era. The comparison between women's living conditions and their current living conditions can also see the changes in women's social life.
In addition to telling the story of women, Danyal Salamat said that the film also talks about helpless men. "In the movie, you can see the male lead doing all the things that traditional women do, such as taking care of children, cooking, etc. It can be said that my male lead has a soft heart." He was talking to reporters. During the interview, he further stated, "I would like to emphasize that my film does not specifically emphasize the protection of people of either gender. What I want to say is that my film is intended to protect the human soul."
