	Asia Pacific Cultural Center Presents: tuya marriage

FREE MOVIE - FREE MOVIE - FREE MOVIE
This months feature movie is a Chinese film directed by famed director,Quan'an Wang.
Who, if given a choice, would want to grow up on the cold, arid steppe of Inner Mongolia, the setting of Wang Quan An's absorbing film "Tuya's Marriage"? The climate is so inhospitable that life is a grinding struggle for subsistence. Water is scarce and must be lugged by hand from distant wells. Yet the movie finds an austere beauty in this landscape of scrub and grassland ringed by forbidding slate-blue mountains. The camera frequently draws back to take in the spectacle of people dwarfed by nature in a harsher Asian answer to the North American plains. Most of the film's characters, including Tuya (Yu Nan), an attractive, robust woman who lives with her husband and their two young children, dwell in crude huts made with wood and rugs. Sheep herding is the region's primary occupation and source of food, although there are signs of change. And alcohol is almost as necessary a staple as water; consumed prodigiously, it provides insulation from the cold and relief from pain. Lest you think that "Tuya's Marriage" is an ethnographic curiosity, Mr. Wang and his screenwriting collaborator, Lu Wei ("Farewell My Concubine"), portray a world that, apart from its hardship, is thoroughly recognizable in its human complexity. - Stephen Holden
