Farewell to Gulsary (original title: Бег иноходца , Beg inochodza ) is a Soviet fictional film that was shot by Mosfilm under the direction of Sergei Urusevsky based on the motifs of the 1967 novel by Tschingis Aitmatow and completed in 1969.

action

Old Tanabai is on his way home to the Kyrgyz mountains at night with a horse-drawn carriage and his stallion Gulsary . It should be noted that both of them are no longer the youngest. But Tanabai is more concerned about Gulsary than about herself. While he laboriously tries to get the stallion to run, he even unhooks the horse and leaves the wagon, he thinks about his life so far.

After the end of the Second World War and the glorious victory, Tanabai returns to his village in Kyrgyzstan and works as a blacksmith again. The kolkhoz chairman convinced him to go to the mountains as a horse herder to relieve the old men who performed these tasks during the war. Now he lives under the difficult conditions with his wife and children in a tent far away from civilization. When a wolf pack destroys almost his entire herd in winter, it hits him very hard and from now on he watches directly with the horses.

In the summer, a young stallion is born in his herd - Gulsary. Little did Tabatai at the time know that they would be connected for a lifetime. But he recognizes the value of the horse, trains it to be a riding horse and feels more and more drawn to it. The horse, on the other hand, feels drawn to Bibidzhan because it notices how the soldier's widow impresses the rider. But the woman resists Tanabai's advertisements. One night he knocked on her door, as threatened, and was let in. Back home and back at the herd, his wife immediately recognizes what has happened, but forgives him without a word.

In the meantime, a new chairman has taken over the management of the collective farm. This gives Tanabai the order to remove Gulsary from the herd and to hand it over to the horse stable in the village, because he wants to use him as a riding horse himself. The shepherd only surrenders the stallion for reasons of subordination and at the insistence of his wife. Before long, Gulsary reappeared with the herd, but with a saddle and no rider. This means that he simply ran away in the village because he needs his previous surroundings. Now the new chairman decides to castrate the stallion because of his rebelliousness . Gulsary and Tanabai's paths will cross again and again in the future, until the horse, because of its old age, will be with the shepherd forever.

Gulsary dies the same night that Tanabai, who is also very old, thinks about his past. It was a stormy and eventful life for both of them.

criticism

In the Berliner Zeitung it was stated that the director had made a remarkable debut as a film director with this idiosyncratic film adaptation of Tschingis Aitmatov's eponymous story.

The lexicon of international film finds that the film, which largely dispenses with words, captivates with its fascinating beauty, consistent color symbolism and dynamic camera work.
