Silent City Driver
Чимээгүй хотын жолооч
A withdrawn, scarred man rebuilding a solitary life after fourteen years in prison drifts through a corrupt, indifferent city, his hard-won calm tested by the world around him. A moody Mongolian drama.
Why it’s here
Janchivdorj Sengedorj’s noir-inflected urban drama expands the list beyond pastoral imagery through a forceful portrait of corruption, isolation, and survival in contemporary Ulaanbaatar.
