INTERPRETATION OF HUMAN PSYCHOLOGY AND SOCIAL ADAPTATION ISSUES IN CONTEMPORARY UZBEK CINEMA

Abstract:

This article analyzes the representation of human psychology, social isolation, and the causes of psychological depression in contemporary Uzbek feature films. As the objects of the study, the films “O‘tov” and “Rangsiz tushlar” by Ayub Shahobiddinov, “Qarzdor” by Bahodir Odilov, and “Issiq non” by Umid Hamdamov were selected. Using these works as examples, the author examines the protagonists’ internal and external conflicts, their struggles to preserve personal identity, as well as the psychological aspects of gender issues. The article also explores the role of symbolism, minimalism, and directorial interpretation in film dramaturgy in revealing and shaping the characters’ psychological depth.
