Michelle Orange Village Voice Zhang holds his series of quotidian moments long enough for small pockets of fear and longing to be emptied slowly, the contents arrayed like precious gems. Apr 15, 2009 Full Review Manohla Dargis New York Times Silence, interrupted only by the periodic violent howls of the wind and animal mewls and bleats, pervades the otherworldly landscape of Desert Dream. Rated: 4/5 Apr 15, 2009 Full Review Donald J. Levit ReelTalk Movie Reviews Lovely as a tree. Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Hyazgar is amazing and must see, need I say more? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member With a narrative that moves in slow motion, Hyazgar is an endurance test of sorts, but ultimately a most rewarding ordeal for the viewer. Director Zhang Lu adopts a strictly observing perspective on events and keeps the dialogue at a mininum, and due to the innovative use of slow pan shots things seem to be happening off screen all the time. All this means lots of work but also lots of freedom for the audience. But a considerable part of the pic's appeal is also in debt to the alien but fascinating landscape of inner Mongolia, and Zhang most effectively uses the desert as a canvas to paint on. To conclude, Zhang Lu's Hyazgar, together with his fine previous effort Grain In Ear, fills a most comfortable slot in the realist cineastic canon. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member I mixed the soundtrack of this one ... selected at berlin film festival in 2006 ..
