About This Movie

Asherah is a fascinating documentary that dives deep into the world of ancient beliefs and spirituality. Based on Mikhail Korol's poem, it presents a unique interpretation of monotheism's evolution in Canaan through a dreamlike lens. The pacing is almost lyrical, weaving together stunning visuals and immersive soundscapes that capture both the beauty and melancholy of Asherah’s narrative. You can feel the weight of history in each frame, and the way it explores themes of love, rejection, and devotion is quite compelling. The performances, though not traditional, are evocative, giving life to these ancient stories. It's definitely a film that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
