Les faits qui précèdent sont progressivement portés à la connaissance du spectateur qui découvre Ayka à la maternité et la suit, caméra à l'épaule, à peine relevée de couches dans un Moscou battu par la neige. Lire ses 3 359 critiques, Suivre son activité We watch as Ayka tries over the following days to overcome her circumstances, as doors are repeatedly slammed in her face and, as we take a handheld camera journey with her through the streets of the Russian capital, the rest of the world flows past her indifferently. A poor migrant woman in Moscow struggles with her life. Each character is completely undone and unromanticised, which is reflected in the simplicity of their costume and make-up. Ayka ne manque pas de qualités avec sa peinture sans concession de la Russie de Poutine, avec la description des difficultés rencontrées par  les anciens ressortissants de l’Union Soviétique lorsqu’ils viennent s’installer en Russie, avec, surtout, la remarquable prestation de Samal Yeslyamova dans le rôle d’Ayka. THE STORY - A destitute young woman abandons her newborn in the hospital to comb the Moscow streets to find some way to make money so that she can pay off a vicious loan shark.

To close Kazakhstan Film Week in London, The Embassy of Kazakhstan in London brought audiences to Ayka, a 2018 film that follows a young woman struggling as a migrant in Moscow as she tries to support herself and her new-born child. | Photo: Nord-Ouest Films . She can't afford to raise a child. Elle la mérite amplement. Ce dilemme, les distributeurs français le connaissent hélas très bien depuis la réouverture des salles obscures il y a quatre mois. And because there’s nothing beatific about her agony — Ayka never has an instance where she laments her decision to abandon the child — Ayka demands viewers stare directly into the difficulty of her situation and to acknowledge how such a life causes an individual to lose an element of her humanity in the name of survival. Kazakh writer/director Sergey Dvortsevoy returns to Cannes Film Festival with Ayka– after 10 years, when he was discovered with his first full-length film Tulpan in the Un Certain Regard section.

Film Review written by: Amber Jackson Ayka film poster To close Kazakhstan Film Week in London, The Embassy of Kazakhstan in London brought audiences to Ayka, a 2018 film that follows a young woman struggling as a migrant in Moscow as she tries to support herself and her new-born child. Another aspect of the camerawork that was incredibly clever was that those watching never get a full shot of Ayka’s face. Samal Yeslyamova gives an enormously reserved performance, but the film’s sombre relentlessness ultimately feels programmatic rather than organic. Elle n’a pas de travail, trop de dettes à rembourser, même pas une chambre à elle. Lire ses 538 critiques, Suivre son activité Does her pain stem from patriarchal persecution? During the discussion after the screening, there was debate over if the film can be seen as Feminist.

On ressort, l'âme transie. C'est d'une grande noirceur et l'actrice mérite son prix à Cannes. C’est le sort de l’héroïne de ce film qui porte son nom, Ayka, que l’on suit dans un calvaire d’une rare violence, à la fois sociale et physique. Ensuite, un grand silence ! Ayka just gave birth. Small parts of information as to who she is are sprinkled throughout the film; we discover that she is an undocumented immigrant fighting to earn money and that she is in debt to someone. Il est devenu encore plus aigu depuis le couvre-feu, instauré dans les plus grandes villes du pays depuis samedi dernier.

Mais loin de nous terrasser, "Ayka" nous subjugue. La filiation avec Rosetta, on la retrouve même dans le palmarès de Cannes 2018 : certes, Ayka n’a pas obtenu la Palme d’or, mais Samal Yeslyamova, elle, s’est vue décerner le Prix d’interprétation féminine, tout comme Emilie Dequenne, l’interprète de Rosetta, en 1999. This film is a stark portrait of a Kazakh immigrant in Moscow. Ce film ne manque pas de qualités avec sa peinture sans concession de la Russie de Poutine, avec la description des difficultés rencontrées par les anciens ressortissants de l’Union Soviétique lorsqu’ils viennent s’installer en Russie, avec, surtout, la remarquable prestation de Samal Yeslyamova dans le rôle d’Ayka. They say it's the hope that kills you and Dvortsevoy lets enough light in to emphasise her plight. Harsh and snowy conditions prevail in the cinematography of this piece, with director of photography Jolanta Dylewska placing focus on the grim and grotesque to paint an unsightly image of a frozen city. Home; Reviews; Features; Festivals; Interviews; 7 October 2020 ... One scene, where Ayka sits down to a hot cup of tea, is the sole moment of comfort and respite she gets throughout the film’s 100 minutes. The director films Ayka in intense, hovering close-ups, revealing nothing of her interior life but suggesting her imperilled existence as an illegal alien through a series of unadorned sequences of increasingly despairing hardships. A force de rajouter des difficultés et des espoirs déçus, le film devient lourd oppressant et misérabiliste probablement même un peu complaisant. As intellectually stimulating as Ayka can be, its storytelling can’t keep pace.

(The few moments she has to rest take place in a dingy, cramped flat that she shares with a sizable mishmash of fellow illegal immigrants.) Elle ne peut pas se permettre d’avoir un enfant. Brillante interprétation du rôle, mais le scénario est vraiment très noir même trop ! And even though that oppressive tone is part of Ayka’s larger point, there’s an almost obsessive emphasis on unending bleakness. Toutefois, à la vision de ce film, on ne peut pas s’empêcher de penser au cinéma des frères Dardenne, et, en particulier, à "Rosetta", Palme d’or en 1999 : il y a 19 ans, ce film tourné caméra à l’épaule était novateur, aujourd’hui, cinématographiquement parlant, "Ayka" donne malheureusement une impression de déjà vu.
