Purely Joyful Movie!

not as good as all the hype

Absolutely brilliant

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

What can one say about a children's film which is directed by two directors from two different cultures who specialize exclusively in made for children films ? Watching "Karamkum" directed by German Arend Agthe and Turkmen Usman Saparov one would surely say that this film is a good effort in promoting international harmony,understanding and peace.Karakum is a fun filled joyride which takes its two young teenage protagonists from a remote desert to a distant seashore.The unique lesson that can be learned from this film is that two people need not know a common language to communicate with each other. Communication is an emotional act that can also be done using common wisdom and sign language as shown in this film.Karakum has plenty of suspense which is bound to keep all the viewers glued to the edge of their seats.If you are fed up that your children are not watching good Children's films this is the film for you and your children.Watching this film there is an even likelihood that you might even forget all your silly flicks like home alone,lion king,south park,Simpsons etc.

"Karakum" is a movie about one German boy who tries to find his dad.His dad is in Turkmenistan and that boy has to travel through the desert to see him.It's also a story about friendship between two boys,who even don't speak the same language but they can understand each other.This movie isn't special but don't miss it.When you watch it you could say that you watched a film made in Turkmenistan.The scenes in desert are very good because you can really see what is the desert.No water,silence and only sand,endless sand.Don't expect much of this movie and maybe you can even like it.And that title is very good.Desert+two boys=Karakum.

A 13-year-old German boy, Robert, (Max Kullman) sets out to try and find his father, who's in Turministan. On his arrival there he meets up with a local boy (Murat Orasov)who agrees to help him, but they are abandoned by their adult guides and must fend for themselves. Not a classic but how many films have you seen made in Turkmenistan?
