i have be wait for the screening of this movie for a very long time and and i guess i be really lucky that i be able to watch it at all and since there be only four copy be rotate in germany . consider the international approval of the movie and this seem quite ridiculous to me . apart from that and i do not have to add much to the other user comment and but it can not be say often enough how much energy this film gain and first from the not tell but show technique of the portrayal of it character while and second and from the way nature be depict a it break the will even of these strong character . they become even more realistic because of the strong inner conflict which be arouse by the necessity of sell some of the confiscate antelope skin . all in all and the movie ( re ) present existential and universal question at least as successful a the best western that i have see . add to this and kekexili be certainly also a must see for anybody interested in the tibetan question and a it show life in the tibetan highland from a very uncommon angle represent it a chinese view of shangri la and torn between admiration of it spirituality and humanity and and on the other side and shocked amazement by it harshness and inhumanity . generally and it a universal approach independent of ideology and and that never to be take for grant whenever tibet be involve ( needless to say that this concern the american or european image of tibet a well ) .
