It gorgeously recalls Fellini and Koyaanisqatsi and hauntingly pits ancient tradition against science, oppression and industrial rot.

Khadak is beautifully filmed and energetically acted, with standout performances by newcomer Tsetsegee Byamba as Zolzaya and Batzu Khayankhyarvaa as Bagi.

Even when their picture wanders from any reasonable path, it's never less than stunning to look at.

A marvelously acted, brave and absorbing film. Catch it whenever and wherever you can.
