Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
In 1967 a young Beijing student, Chen Zhen, is sent to live among the nomadic herdsmen of Inner Mongolia. Once there, he discovers a fascinating world he didn’t even suspect existed. What first seemed a tedious and meaningless task turns into an adventure of a lifetime.
A parable, and a big action-adventure blockbuster of high allegory, the profound and political environmental themes (and Mongolian Wolves!) of Wolf Totem are brought to exhilarating life in gripping technique and panoramic visuals. A monumental production.
