About The Tale of the Beautiful Aisulu
One day, while hunting, the young khan Tauekel met the beautiful Aisula, the shepherd's daughter, and brought her to the palace, soon celebrating a magnificent wedding. Aisula was not interested in palace intrigues. The girl fed snow-white pigeons, took care of greenhouse plants, quenched her curiosity by talking to a wise astronomer at the observatory. Love transformed Khan Taukel, belligerence began to grow into wisdom, awakening mercy and kindness. But the insidious sister of Khan Karashash, who has long dreamed of power, took advantage of her brother's forced departure and slandered the shepherd's daughter, spreading a rumor that she had given birth to two puppies.
Directed by Rustem Tashibaev, Viktor Chugunov, The Tale of the Beautiful Aisulu leans on a strong ensemble — Saule Ashimova, Sagi Ashimov, Kenes Nurlanov — 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 fantasy titles of 1987.
