About The Orator
Iskander, a gentle Uzbek man, is convinced by a Russian friend to give an impromptu speech praising the Communist Revolution. Impressed by his eloquence, the Soviets make Iskander a spokesman - a precarious position in a turbulent time.
Directed by Yusup Razykov, The Orator leans on a strong ensemble — Bahodir Odilov, Lola Eltoeva, Jahovir Sakirov — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1998.
