The Poet

The film is dedicated to the memory of the great Azerbaijani poet Muhammad Fuzuli by the relic-gazalakh, and the lyric poet Aliaga Vahid. The poet's life is presented in chronological order. The authors do not clearly indicate the names of the people who covered Vahid. They tried to create a generalized artistic image using some of the master poet's masterpieces from his difficult life.

Directed by Shahmar Alakbarov, The Poet leans on a strong ensemble — Loghman Karimov, Mirza Aghabeyli, Hamida Omarova — 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 1991.
