チベットの作品で観たことがあるのは『羊飼いと風船』ですが、
あちらは放牧民の伝統と現代を描いた作品。
今回は、もっと都会で暮らす若者たちの生活と、
「リンカ」という初めて知ったチベットの風習が描かれていました。
訪れたことのない国のことを知ることができるのは楽しいです。
ストーリー的には国は関係なく、
人生の中で「あるある」なお話を、
チベットの風習とうまく絡めていて、違和感なく楽しめました。

しかし、早く謝ろうよ〜。

The story traces the growth of a main character of this movie, weaving together three distinct periods: her girlhood with a close circle of friends centered around a Tibetan lama; the time at age twelve when she studied hard for entrance exams and moved to a middle school in Shanghai; and the present day, some fifteen years later, when she has returned to the lama and aspires to be a film director. It depicts her deepening relationships with her father, a pen pal, and her friends.
At the start, the pacing is slow, and she appears anxious and sullen—creating an atmosphere that feels almost like a film from a particular country. As for the story's theme, rather than dealing with the ambiguity of memory, it seems more a case of her simply failing to notice the consideration those around her show while she is focused on her exams.
There were a few points that puzzled me. One was how the father and herself made a living. The mother appears at various stages, but her presence lacks consistency. Even if that is acceptable, I had absolutely no idea who was producing the film-within-a-film that appears in the story. However, toward the end, it was announced as a joint production between the Han and Tibetan peoples.
I realized then that the very nature of this film itself was also a collaboration of two parts of the country. It explained why the familiar imagery of Tibet—aside from the grand Tibetan Buddhist monasteries in the background—was largely absent. It also made sense why, despite winning an award in Hong Kong, the film had not been released in its home country. I will refrain from further comments.

物凄く良かった。中国映画だが、舞台はチベット。設定はシンプルだが、チベット社会、文化紹介的な要素が強かった前半だが、後半は映画らしく最後は胸にジーンときた。チベット社会、文化を知る事ができたので観て良かった。中国の影響は強いが、チベットの匂いもした。
