The Mountain Patrol

“A fresh Chinese epic shot in the exteriors where the mountains and highly contrasting colours have the main lead. Lu Chuan's film is a full-on elegy for a band of paramilitary volunteers patrolling highlands, prowling after outlaw antelope hunters. Lu Chuan has an unfailing sense of the detail and merciless realism. This film belongs to the most fervent ones made about nature.” Michael Atkinson, the Village Voice. – The film received many rewards, such as the Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize.
