From the Arrow/MVD press release:
May 27 marks the Blu-ray release of Steppenwolf, director Adilkhan Yerzhanov’s unrelenting journey into a dystopian wasteland. The movie won the Golden Raven Grand Prix at the 2024 Brussels International Fantastic Film Festival and the Outstanding Performance Award for the leading actors at the 2024 Fantasia Film Festival. The Blu-ray has a High-Definition (1080p) presentation and hours of special features.
Tamara (Anna Starchenko) experiences a traumatic nightmare when her son is abducted in the middle of her town’s fall into violent chaos. Nobody appears to be in charge anymore as warring gangs battle on the streets. Ex-cop Brajyuk (Berik Aitzhanov) is lured into helping Tamara by her promise of a large payday if he finds her son. He’s amoral and vicious. Steppenwolf puts Kazakhstan cinema on the action map with a dark thriller and a bleak landscape.
The special features includes audio commentary with critic and pop culture historian David Flint; a visual essay by Lee Broughton; a behind-the-scenes featurette with cast and crew interviews; Adilkhan Yerzhanov's 2022 feature film Goliath; an illustrated collector’s booklet with interviews with cast and crew members, including writer-director Adilkhan Yerzhanov, producer Aliya Mendygozhina, actors Berik Aitzhanov and Anna Starchenko, and composer Galymzhan Moldanazar.

I haven't heard of this movie, but it has strong Mad Max vibes and looks interesting. It's surprising to see that the disc has a second film, as well.
