Reviews

Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb is a fairly interesting documentary if you are interested in ancient history and/or archaeology. It takes place at an archaeological site in Egypt, not near the Sphinx and the Giza pyramids, but 15 miles away near the Step pyramid. They are finding a lot of historical treasures, though not the more glamorous jewels or financial finds that make headlines. The movie tries to build up a sense of suspense by letting us know that unless they have major finds, their state-sponsored funding would expire when the Ramadan holiday arrives, so we are given several text reminders of how many weeks remain before that deadline. As a side note, one thing I liked was that this is an Egyptian archaeological dig and, as such, all of the workers, supervisors, consulting experts and even the dogs and cats, are local. We don’t have the typical European or American team trying to deal with the Egyptian officials. These people are excited about their work and take pride in it, right down to the ones who just. Sometimes it feels a little overstated how excited they get and how they feel that the bones are real people to them, but who am I to rain on the parade of people who truly love their work? This is a quiet film as you’d expect, with plenty of information about ancient Egyptian life. Having said that, I should also say that I watched it in two sittings, as I began to feel tired and this isn’t a movie designed to keep you alert if you aren’t inclined that way. But it is well worth watching if the subject interests you.

The Universe of the Manas

It has been a lifelong dream of Kyrgyz director Melis Ubukeyev to create an elaborate film version of the Kyrgyz national epic 'Manas'. He spent years working with the National Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyzstan to gather material for this film project, which was ultimately to remain a dream. However, the director's efforts were not in vain: Not only did he make films in 1962 and 1988 about the highly respected Manasçı – folk singers who passed on the epic over countless generations in melodic speech –, but in 1995, on the occasion of the 1,000th anniversary of 'Manas', he also made a beguiling essay film that not only outlines the plot of the epic with the help of magnificent images and lavish costumes, but also gives a semi-documentary account of the history of the Kyrgyz people interwoven with the myth. Long inaccessible, the essay film has recently been restored by the film studio Kyrgyzfilm and uploaded to YouTube in 4K.
