Summaries

'Song of Tibet', displays the last century of Tibetan history by telling the love story of Yeshe Dolma a Tibetan woman, her romance with three men and her whole life. The actors and actress are all of Tibetan nationality.

Stunningly shot on real locations, Song of Tibet is much as its title sounds - a wistful, sometimes clunky melodrama with lots of ethnographic detail that's a modern take on the ethnic-minority pics that China has cranked out since the '50s. Pic centers on a Tibetan woman, Yixizhuoma, and her turbulent marriage to a proud warrior type, Jiacuo, across half a century.
