Why did I choose this DVD?
I really cannot believe I ordered this. The language is Chinese and subtitled in English. A story about a nomadic family. The story went nowhere and was of little interest to me.

cave of the yellow dog
If you liked the subtle, unfolding, enexpected beauty of a film like 'The story of the weeping camel' then this is another gem for you! It is quiet and unassuming allowing you to fall in love with not just the characters, but the landscape and culture, without even realising!
It is a lovely but brief segment from the life of a nomadic mongolian family, whose little girl returns from the city for a holiday. Her lovely adventures make for charming, non offensive viewing.
A truly beautiful piece of film work. -
