'Prince of the Himalayas' screening in New York |
Prince of the Himalayas
Prince of the HimalayasDir. Sherwood Hu, 2006, 108 min., Director’s first feature on Tibet.
Tibetan with English subtitles.
Setting Hamlet in a completely new context in early Tibetan history, Prince of the Himalayas is a visually ravishing historical epic that is richly suggestive of the enduring relevance of Shakespeare’s tragedy for the modern world and the most successful example so far of artistic cooperation between a Chinese director and Tibetan writers (Dorje Tsering Chenaktshang and Tashi Dawa).
