Strikingly shot in black and white, leading Tibetan filmmaker Pema Tseden’s latest work explores identity, marginalisation and loneliness amid the changing face of contemporary Tibet.
This is a passionate love story with darker undercurrents, where basic pastoral imperatives such as protecting his sheep from hungry wolves run against Tharlo’s discovery of the contemporary pleasures of smoking, drinking, singing and sex.
