[edit] Blurb

Directed by Tian Zhuang Zhuang; produced by Xi'an Film Studios, 1986.

"It's the story of Norbu, ostracized by his community for stealing horses, and so forced into further crime in order to survive. There's hardly any dialogue, but what makes it so absorbing is the stream of stunning widescreen images, from old Tibetan favorites like yaks and those long, booming pipes, to scenes of mesmerizing, arcane rituals--valley coated in swirling scrapes of paper, sheep being buried alive, row upon row of flicking candles. And their dreamlike effect is enhanced by an ethereal sound track of tickling bells, gongs, synthesizers and unearthly voices." (John Wrathall, The Good Times, London).

With English sub-titles. 98 min.
