Abstract

Adilkhan Yerzanov, one of the leading directors of modern Central Asian cinema, is steadily advancing his works to prestigious international film festivals including the Cannes International Film Festival. Leading international film festivals, including Cannes and Venice, are consistently introducing Adilkhan's works, confirming the favorable response from overseas critics. In particular, director Adilkhan's latest film Yellow Cat produced in 2020, directly cites masterpieces from Western films, while incorporating the unique family theme of Central Asian cinema. A case in which a drama full of tragic emotions unique to Central Asia is completed by publicly citing Western masterpieces, such as Yellow Cat, is a rare case in the history of Kazakhstan cinema as well as the entire Central Asian cinema history. While adhering to the traditional theme, this work contains reflections and concerns about the medium of cinema, and is being reborn as a richer artistic text while crossing Western cinema masterpieces. In this paper, the author analyzed the movie Yellow Cat under the themes of ‘migration and settlement’and ‘absence of a family' in terms of traditional themes in Central Asian cinema. It was considered that attention was paid to acting during the silent film period. In addition, as a text that crosses the history of Western cinema, the point of intersection between this Western films and the film Yellow Cat was clarified through a cross-comparison with works directly or indirectly cited in the film Yellow Cat.
