Movie Reviews of Urga / Close to Eden [NO ENGLISH]
Movie Review: Beauty is a rare thing
Summary: 5 Stars
This immensely satisfying film will please the viewer on all levels, as Mikhalkov provides a most engaging view into the life of a nomadic Mongolian family. He takes the viewpoint of a wayward Russian truck driver trying desperately to keep awake at the wheel only to run the truck into a stream bed. He is rescued by a Mongolian going through his own identity crisis, with hallucinations of Genghis Khan. The lasso or urga plays a major role in this film. As in all of Mikhalkov's movies, he focused on the most telling moments in what is a very special movie. The acting is so natural that the film has a life of its own. Vladimir Gostyukhin is superb as Sergei, the Russian truck driver, capturing all the humor and pathos of a decaying empire in his wonderful performance. But, it is the Mongolian family that will win your heart.
