Persian Realm

Tajik Director of the Soviet Era, Boris Kimyagarov's 1971 Epic Masterpiece was a patrotic Ode to the Persian Poet Ferdowsi.The Legend of Rostam and Sohrab was one of the three films Kimyagarov directed as part of a trilogy.

The Tajik Title is Rustam i Sukhrab with a script by Grigori Koldunov, photographed by cinematographer Dovlatian Khudonazarov and a music score by Arif (Aref) Melikov. The Cast was essentially Tajik but also included Russian and Georgian actors including Svetlana Norbayeva, Sairam Issayeva, Bimbulat Vatayev , Otar Koberidze, Mahmud Bakhidov. What personally fascinated me about this movie which is now available online (see below under Authors Notes) in Persian/Tajik as well as Russian
