Leave your thoughts about The Horse Thief.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzA truly amazing film that takes a western audience to mystical places they have never seen before. |
| San Francisco ExaminerJeffrey M. AndersonAn intoxicating masterpiece, and the very best film to come from China's Fifth Generation. |
| Time OutDerek AdamsIt offers the most awesomely plausible account of Tibetan life and culture ever seen in the west. It's one of the few films whose images show you things you've never seen before. |
| User ReviewScott RThe Horse Thief is a family drama of theft, banishment and dreadful reckoning, whose images captivate and haunt in equal measure. |
| User ReviewGreg WThe "2001" of Asian cinema. A masterpiece. |
| User ReviewAbhinav KWonderful.Really thin on the plot but the film strives for something far more commendable:for the musical;one can see the efforts for the same in the repeated shots,locations and scenery.A film full of marvellous images that haunts one long after s/he finished seeing it. |
| User ReviewX. TOne of my favorites; often cited as somewhat of a remake of The Bicycle Thief, I'd argue this film is quite different, and actually better. |
| User ReviewMattias Ea powerful simplistic little story that crafted so delicately delightful by tian, this feels a bit like tarkovsky meets herzog, but still, i don't think this movie reach it full potential, and the pace is a little too slow even for my taste.. |
| User ReviewJesse F"The Horse Thief" is a fascinating feast for the senses, painting a picture of the culture and religion of a people living in the vast Tibetan wilderness. Though plot and dialogue is minimal, it's more than compensated for by the hypnotic music and sound, and of course, the stunning photography. |
