So, 'Highway' is this intriguing documentary that takes you on a journey along a 2,000-mile dirt road in Kazakhstan. The filmmaker sticks with the Tadjibajev family circus, capturing their lives in this cramped, hand-cranked bus. The atmosphere is raw and honest, revealing not just the laughter of performances but also the tension of family quarrels. You get this sense of a transient lifestyle, where every stop in a village feels like a mini-world unto itself. The pacing is reflective, allowing moments to breathe, which really pulls you into their daily struggles and joys. What stands out is how it feels like a slice of life, with practical effects just being life itself β the dust, the bus, the people. Itβs a rare glimpse into a world not often seen.
