Crickets, It's Your Turn

When introverted Merey accepts an invitation to a party from the likeable Nurlan, she has no idea that the toxic masculinity she encounters there will lead to trouble. When the 25-year-old photographer Merey (Inzhu Abeu) meets the likeable Nurlan (Ayan Batyrbek) and he invites her to a birthday party up in the Kazakhstan mountains with his friends, it sounds as though it will be fun - but the reality is anything but. On arrival, it turns out she is the only woman there apart from a group of sex workers, marking the start of a dangerous night. Filmmaker Olga Korotko draws us into the psyche of Merey while slowly turning the screw of her cat-and-mouse revenge thriller, laced with dark humour, which dissects toxic masculinity, male competitiveness and compliance. Screening as part of Audience Award Russian/Kazakh with English subtitles Thanks to CercamonKazakhstan, 2024PT1H45MN/C 15+2025-03-04
