Neither live nor die in Tashkent

About This Movie

So, 'Neither Live Nor Die in Tashkent' is this intriguing documentary that dives into the cultural scene of Tashkent from 2007 to 2015. It’s a bit of a collage, really—jumps from the tragic murder of Mark Weil to the opulence of Alisher Usmanov's wedding. The pacing feels a bit loose, almost like a series of snapshots rather than a linear narrative. You get a raw look at the Tashkent Biennale, some indie performances, and even the more mundane aspects of life, all wrapped in this artistic chaos. It's not just about events but a vibe, conversations that seem trivial yet profound. The operational shooting moments bring an edge that’s hard to shake off—definitely a unique perspective on a city that’s always in flux.
