New Ashgabat is a fascinating glimpse into the early 90s transformation of Turkmenistan's capital. The documentary captures the stark contrast between the modern architecture and the natural elements, like rain cascading over newly built structures. It has this almost surreal quality, showcasing grand developments like hotels and a stadium, yet there’s an underlying sense of solitude, like the city is still finding its identity. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing you to soak in the visuals and the atmosphere of a city on the cusp of change. It's this blend of progress and the rawness of nature that makes it distinctive. The absence of a known director adds to its mystery, leaving you pondering the narrative behind the lens.
