Urga
Urga, filmed on the steppes of Inner Mongolia, was the first film made by Mikhalkov outside Russia. A celebration of the vanishing world of the Mongolians, it is also an investigation of post-Soviet Russian malaise.
Sergei, a Russian driver engaged on a road-building project, crashes his truck and is rescued by Gombo, a Mongolian who herds sheep and horses and lives a traditional life with his wife Pagma and their children. Their brief friendship leads Gombo to question his own heritage.
At the end of the film, Gombo and Pagma leave their tent with the ‘urga' of the title, a pole with a noose for catching cattle which is also used to mark out a private space for lovemaking - a symbol, according to Mikhalkov, of love, solitude and power.
The narrator, finally, identifies himself as the child of that union. Named after the Mongol leader Genghis Khan, he is employed by the gasworks that now stands where Gombo's tent once stood.
Characteristic of Mikhalkov's films are Urga's emphasis on cultural identity, history and memory, while the exquisitely observed family scenes, complemented by beautiful shots of the prairie, helped the film to win the Golden Lion at Venice. NICK THOMAS
